About Workstead
Workstead is a design studio that focuses on buildings, interiors, and products. Our lighting collections are a natural extension of the studio’s interest in utility, form, and material strength. The pieces are functional and iconic, balancing a dialogue between new and old. They cast a new light on durable and time-tested materials through a careful interpretation of forms and their embedded sculptural functions. Minimal in spirit, but flexible in use, the collections can be found in shops, restaurants, hotels, and residences all over the world.
