Light and timelessness. Detail and style.

Ultralight lamps are recognizable and timeless – a source of not only light, but also chic and elegance. They work equally well in classic and modern interiors. Their style is accentuated by meticulous manufacturing and attention to detail.

At Ultralight, we boast a creative approach to challenges. When required, we modify our projects, not only by altering colours, size or materials (steel, chrome, brass, copper), but also by creating individual projects on the basis of our catalogue models, tailoring them to our customers’ expectations.
At every stage of production, lamp parts are handmade by verified subcontractors and their quality is supervised by designer Maciek Kossowski. Architect Agnieszka Kossowska is responsible for the lamps’ perfect harmony with interiors.
