OUR STORY
Son for Generations
Hi, I’m Steve.
I founded Son to create beautiful lighting products, and a company that can be a positive force in the world.
Over the course of a decade spent developing commercial lighting for companies across North America, I fell in love with the idea that light shapes our experience of the built world. Lighting, when designed beautifully and intentionally, harnesses and enhances the impact of light on our lives and memories.
Several years ago I realized that in order to feel whole as a designer, the products I designed needed to be manufactured ethically and responsibly, and stand for more than just making a profit. I wanted to feel prouder of the things I was making - and that meant creating something new.
I come from a long family history of artisans and craftspeople, and I strive to instill that same ethos in Son - a company born from family building traditions, responsibly making beautiful products for the generations to come.
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, and striving to manufacture every component domestically and responsibly. We hope to build a customer base that shares our vision, and work closely with them to provide the best possible product and service.
