Our Story:

PROUDLY HANDMADE IN TASMANIA

At We Ponder, we celebrate the exceptional skills of Tasmanian craftspeople. Founded by Interior Designer Rose Kiselev, our mission is to offer clients the beauty of Australian handmade lighting. We've brightened spaces across Australia, New Zealand, and beyond with our unique designs.

Based in Tasmania, we began with ceramic wall lights crafted by local ceramicist Ian Clare. Now, we're thrilled to include handblown glass elements from a talented Tasmanian glass artist - Keith Dougall. Each piece celebrates local artistry, designed to inspire and bring joy to your space.

Have you ever looked at a light fixture and thought, "Wow, that's really something special"? That’s our goal at We Ponder. We create timeless pieces that reject trends and honour the ancient traditions of clay and glass craftsmanship.

Our Passion:

WHY WE DO WHAT WE DO?

Our products celebrate Tasmanian craftsmanship, embracing nature's imperfections to create unique, irreplaceable pieces. We aim to craft timeless lights that never go out of style and may one day be archaeological treasures, showcasing the artistry of the 2020s.

Our process involves trusting the skills of our craftspeople, learning from their trial and error, and designing within their capabilities. We strive to create designs that are both repeatable and unique, layering elements to create inviting atmospheres.

Our Focus:
