Astro Design Team

The Astro in-house design team is at the heart of the brand’s commitment to timeless, high-quality British lighting design. Founded in 1997 by John Fearon and James Bassant, Astro has built a reputation for innovation, precision, and attention to detail, ensuring that every product embodies a balance of functionality and aesthetic elegance. The team’s passion for simplicity and longevity is reflected in their meticulous design process, where each luminaire starts as a sketch in the UK, undergoing rigorous development and refinement before it reaches the market.

With a design philosophy rooted in clean, contemporary forms, Astro’s team focuses on creating lighting that is future-proofed and versatile. By prioritising high-quality materials and advanced engineering techniques, they craft luminaires that are both visually striking and built to last. The design team collaborates closely with engineers and sustainability experts to ensure each piece is not only aesthetically appealing but also responsible and efficient, embracing circular design principles to minimise waste and enhance durability.

Beyond aesthetics, the Astro in-house team is dedicated to enhancing user experience through smart, adaptable lighting solutions. Whether designing bathroom-safe fixtures, statement pendants, or architectural wall lights, they consider how lighting interacts with space, function, and atmosphere. Their ongoing commitment to sustainability, craftsmanship, and intelligent design continues to shape the brand’s identity, making Astro a leader in contemporary lighting solutions for modern interiors.
