Ay illuminate

Ay illuminate is based in the Netherlands and produces it’s own lighting in several countries in Asia. The designers of Ay illuminate are inspired by both nature and different cultures which is reflected in their use of organic shapes and natural (waste) materials combined with local handicraft expertise.

To get inspired the design team is working together with the local handcrafters.This allows us to get to know the natural materials available and the expertise of the handcraft. It is our way to discover the best solution to catch the unique beauty of different techniques.

Ay illuminate tries to contribute to the environment by focusing on bamboo on the latest model line-up. Bamboo is a renewable resource that grows two times faster than a tree and releases 30% more oxygen into the atmosphere.

- we believe that local handicraft carries the genes of cultural identity -
