I recently stumbled upon this studio whilst researching for my Design Context publication. They are evidently based in London and create beautiful hand crafted designs that display a brand narrative, using suitable items to build up an overall setting. This is the type of design that I have become really interested in in the past few months, and I feel that my interests are starting to sway more towards personalised stationery and hand crafted gifts and greetings products. I am going to get in touch with the studio, purely to ask a few questions, in order to gain a better understanding of who they are. Unfortunately, London is not somewhere I want to be based myself, however it will be beneficial to my practice to get in touch.
Founder Chiara Lisa is an illustrator and graphic designer by trade, and a self-taught calligrapher, specialising in modern and decorative styles. Working in the design industry for 7 years, saw an ongoing demand for creative and unique invitations requests, and in 2012 Lamplighter London was born. In these short years we have had the pleasure of working with many brides, event planners, private and corporate clients across fashion, cultural and media industries.
Our name stems from a dearly cherished poetry book by Robert Louis Stevenson, 'A Child's Garden of Verses'. There is a Dickensian history of the lamplighter as a symbolic light-bringer, which we hope to match by bringing happiness and light to our clients."
