Our Story
O'Lampia Studio was founded in 1993 in New York City by Kwang Lee, a fine artist and lighting designer. O’Lampia’s name is a nod to Manet's painting Olympia (pronounced o-LAM-pia in French) and is a combination of the words “O!,” “lamp,” and “utopia.” All of our lighting fixtures are handmade and crafted in-house in our NYC studio and factory.
Lee's vast collection of own original designs span through many styles: Gothic, Colonial, Art Nouveau, Mid Century Modern, Contemporary. His design philosophy is a contemporary interpretation on traditional structures, expressed through simple, graceful lines, which employs delicate proportions and detailed craftsmanship. O'Lampia's designs have been featured in The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, Architectural Digest, Elle Decor, and Interior Design, among many others.
In O'Lampia Studio, everything is made to order. We take on orders of all sizes, including hotels, restaurants, and condominiums, as well as residential. All existing designs can be customized to fit the client's specifications for size and finish. We also do custom designs per client's blueprints. We have a wide range of subtle finishes that are available, but will also work with you to achieve custom finishes if desired.
