Our Brand
Something about Something
We believe lighting plays a vital role in our world, creating and shaping our living spaces and defining moments of our lives. The impact that lighting has on our experiences is what motivates us to produce thoughtful and intentional lighting products.
Our approach to product development is generational. Rather than creating a large product line, we want to make only a few things and make them outstanding. Growing slowly, focusing on developing and improving our core products.
Our approach to product development is generational. Rather than creating a large product line, we want to make only a few things and make them outstanding. Growing slowly, focusing on developing and improving our core products.
Products continuously evolve through manufacturing improvements, new technology, and market feedback. Understanding this evolution as a core element of product design is essential to creating the best products possible. Maintaining a limited range of products allows greater focus on continual improvement through successive generations. This approach, combined with an efficient number of total company components, allows us to sell a domestically-manufactured product at a reasonable price point.
We want our customers to work with us not only based on the quality of our product, but also on the manufacturing integrity of our brand. At Son, we cultivate brand integrity through a clear and focused operational strategy that includes domestic manufacturing wherever possible, and an ecologically responsible approach to our product development.
We consider a product’s ecological footprint and end-of-life through every step of production, shipping, and design. We build products for longevity, working towards recycling and trade-in programs that reduce waste and promote long-term customer relationships.
We hope to build a customer base that shares our vision, and work closely with them to provide the best possible product and service.

Heirloom Ceramic
We are partnered with a ceramic studio in Portland, Oregan that uses traditional artisanal production methods to achieve the highest standards of quality. Exceptional ceramic production has a long history in this country, and as the principal component of our products it is important for us to continue this by making our shades in the United States.
The natural look and feel of earthenware ceramic has incredible presence in a space, and serves as the ideal container and reflector for lighting. The hand-crafted nature of this process allows each shade to be slightly different and uniquely beautiful.
Each ceramic piece is slip-casted earthenware made from locally sourced clay which has been harvested from mines in the United States. Each piece is low-fired, hand-trimmed on a potter’s wheel, and glazed by hand.
This process ensures beauty, uniqueness, and a final product that is built for generations.
