ABOUT US

James Russ LIGHTING blurs the line between design and fine sculptural art.

A master of materiality, every piece James creates is unique and handcrafted with the highest quality materials.

He draws on a wealth of industrial design knowledge to effortlessly transition between use of glass, ceramics, timber, brass and aluminium in his creations.

James descends from a long lineage of pioneers who instilled in him a passion for the natural environment. Design inspiration often stems from native New Zealand flora and fauna, photographed or filmed by James to capture details.

James Russ pieces embody a flawless balance between use of natural materials and lighting technology.

Designed to last a lifetime, James’ sculptural lights create feelings of warmth, intimacy and whimsy in commercial and residential settings.

Now diving into large scale sculptural work, James has transitioned into a meticulous realm of design, focusing on the beautiful, large pieces that capture attention in any space whether they are indoors or out.

No idea is out of reach for James– he will devise an artistic and functional solution for any brief.

James Russ pieces are held in private collections in New Zealand and across the globe.
