Whether it’s a single light to complete a room or an entire home reno, our lighting specialists will work with you to make your house a home with our in-store and in-home consultation service.

Trade

We work with architects, interior designers, electrical wholesalers, contractors and developers to source or custom-make high-quality, contemporary and well-priced lighting, for restaurants and hotels and commercial spaces and architectural masterpieces.

About Space has evolved from a bespoke design business into one of Australia’s foremost lighting companies.

Founded in 1989 by Mark Vasserman, what is known as About Space was then known as Design Station. In 2009, About Space opened its doors in Fitzroy for the first time as a decorative lighting company and has since transformed into one of Melbourne’s true luminaire destinations, offering decorative, architectural and commercial lighting solutions.

From humble beginnings, Mark utilised his an eye for design and engineering skills to create specialised furniture pieces for his clients. His passion for design engineering and solution-providing has been the driving force behind the impressive growth of the About Space business.

We source form Europe, Asia and Australia to ensure our range offers the latest in functionality, design, and sustainability. Today, About Space has four showrooms across Melbourne, Sydney, and Tasmania and has transformed itself into THE destination for design-loving homeowners, interior stylists and architects.
