Our Background

Founders Celina Clarke and Simon Christopher studied industrial design together and launched ISM Objects in 1990 with the vision of creating lighting designs that were locally made and truly unique.

With over 30 years of experience, multiple awards and a series of high-profile exhibitions, ISM Objects has established a leading reputation for quality contemporary light designed and produced in Australia.

 

We have a passion for ideas.

We create conversation not just light.

We know great results come from great collaborations.

We create objects of enduring affection.

We bring spaces to life.

  • Our Values

    A genuine interest in materials and processes underpins our unique approach to design.

    Guided by the values of being authentic, ethical, collaborative and imaginative, we create enduring and endearing products designed to bring a space to life.

    We are committed to sustainable and progressive thinking, playing with materials to create effects with light, and updating and designing products that incorporate the latest technology.

  • Success in Collaboration

    Great results come from great collaborations as custom project work allows us to push beyond our standard range and explore the possibilities of light to create something extraordinary.

    Our Melbourne-based brand work with industry leaders in the fields of Design, Architecture and Lighting Engineering to integrate lighting experiences into their spaces.

    Since our inception in 1990, we have worked on small and large scale projects from houses to hotels, offices to large scale public buildings, health care, retail and hospitality environments.

  • Personalise Your Space

    We specialise in decorative lighting fixtures which perform just the way you need them to.

    We can customise your design to suit your unique application.

    Take control of colour temperature, output and dimming protocols, as well as have a say in surface finishes and colours.
