De Studio
We design and manufacture custom light fixtures with an industrial approach and a sustainable conviction.
De Studio was founded by Tim Hooijmans and Kay Hooijmans to have complete control over the design, engineering, and manufacturing of custom light fixtures, without relying on established brands or third-party manufacturers. We are located in The Netherlands and specialize in making light fixtures in series, all made in Europe. Our small and dedicated team is committed to sustainability and uses an industrial and scalable approach. Our fixtures are constructed without glue, paint, coatings, or welding and are completely repairable, easy to recycle and repurpose. We are proud to be transparent and honest in our processes. Nothing to hide, relentlessly honest.
Stone Island Munich
OMA/AMO
We have collaborated with OMA/AMO to develop sustainable fixtures for Stone Island's new stores worldwide. These fixtures are meticulously crafted from durable and recyclable aluminum billets, featuring a highly modular and technical design with a heatsink body and high-quality LED chips that consume minimal energy and have a long lifespan. The innovative design not only enhances the store's identity but also minimizes environmental impact.
Off White Paris chandeliers
OMA/AMO and Off White
We crafted 7 custom chandeliers with OMA/AMO for Off White Paris on rue de Saint Honore. Each chandelier consists of a grid of 225 hand-polished aluminum tubes fitted with diffusers, emitting a soft white glow. Our open-grid design allows for easy assembly and repair, while the polished body blends in and stands out at the same time. We also developed a tailored shipping process with custom crates and a specialized courier overseeing the end-to-end delivery.

Task Light
De Studio
De Studio's Task Light is a stripped down desk lamp that consists of only two components - a sturdy aluminium cone serving as the base, and a long, thin aluminium strip holding the light. These parts are held together by a single screw, and the cable is visible, just like the screw. The aluminium is hand-polished to ensure surface protection, and there are no coatings or paint to conceal anything.
This lamp is designed to be produced sustainably in small manufacturing runs. Its simple geometry allows for relatively uncomplicated production methods without the need for molds or specialized tools.
