About Project Lighting and Ordering FAQ’s

Project Lighting Australasia is an international lighting design studio specialising in comprehensive lighting solutions – from architectural lighting design plans to custom European fabrication.

Since 2001, we have delivered complete lighting services to architects and interior designers across New Zealand, Australia, and beyond, collaborating directly with Europe’s master artisans and manufacturers.

Founded by Ian Thompson, a European designer with 35 years of experience spanning design, construction, and product development, our studio thrives on unique challenges that push the boundaries of what’s possible. Ian’s global experience – from luxury hotels to private residences— brings deep understanding of how lighting transforms spaces from functional to extraordinary.

We offer two distinct services: comprehensive lighting design plans that guide your entire project, and custom lighting fabrication when your vision requires fixtures that don’t exist. Our team creates detailed lighting schemes that specify placement, intensity, and control systems, while our European artisan network fabricates bespoke fixtures tailored to your exact requirements.

Our direct partnerships with European artisans ensure that every piece we deliver represents centuries of craftsmanship tradition, adapted for today’s most demanding architectural visions. When standard lighting solutions fall short of your vision, we design what doesn’t exist and Europe’s finest craftsmen bring it to life.
