Man & Son Design is a women-led design duo based in Victoria, BC. Founded in 2020, their multi-disciplinary practice brings together their combined experience in architecture and woodworking to craft bespoke lighting, furniture, and small spaces that uncover the joy in the everyday.

A Light Studio is a brand new collection of handmade wood lighting. Man & Son designs and makes everything by hand in a small workshop nestled in Victoria’s Rock Bay neighbourhood, working with locally sourced and reclaimed materials to highlight the unique qualities of each piece. 

 

bio

Co-founders Jennifer Kalman and Emily Wilson both studied Architecture at Dalhousie University. With a background in psychology, Jennifer brings an understanding of the human experience and how it is shaped by the designed environment. As a craftsperson, Emily brings a keen eye for detail and ability to see a project from sketch to reality, a process she finds endlessly rewarding.

"Over the last three years running our own design firm, we couldn't help but geek out over finding the perfect light fixtures to complete a space. An electrifying idea struck us - why not combine our love for woodworking and design to craft our own collection? Say hello to A Light Studio! Each lighting piece is lovingly handcrafted with quirks and charms, ensuring no two fixtures are ever twinsies. We're bringing a "slow" approach to home design, countering the trends of mass-produced goods with small things that are thoughtfully made and truly one-of-a-kind."  - Jennifer & Emily
