Over the past 40 years Vaughan has become one of the world’s most renowned designers and manufacturers of decorative lighting, furniture, and textiles. Established in 1983, Vaughan was created by artist-designer couple Lucy and Michael Vaughan, who opened their first shop on the Lower Richmond Road in London to meet the demand for fine decorative lighting from the international design community. Vaughan’s vision and artist-led philosophy have provided direction and guidance to their in-house design studio, where every product is designed exclusively.
Using traditional and authentic manufacturing methods, products are made, assembled, or finished in Britain. Using the very finest materials, such as solid cast brass, Vaughan lighting and furnishings have a rare depth and richness of finish. The UK factory employs an outstanding team of engineers, craftspeople, and skilled workers who ensure exemplary standards of production, while also calling upon some of the best independent craft experts, from blacksmiths to makers of handblown crystal.
In addition to their dedication to craftsmanship, Vaughan upholds sustainable and eco-conscious practices. Using energy-efficient LED technology in many of their designs, 90% of the collection is made from recyclable materials such as solid brass, wood, and glass. Taking steps to minimize the carbon footprint of their business, Vaughan sources products responsibly, working closely with suppliers to ensure high standards, with the aim to reduce, reuse, and recycle to minimize their impact on the environment.
Today, Vaughan’s designs grace the world’s finest hotels, restaurants, and residences, and have become a hallmark of luxury and sophistication. Vaughan can be found in showrooms around the world with flagships at Design Centre Chelsea Harbour – London and the New York Design Center, in Manhattan.
