Lighting Specialist
Mr. St. Ives is a designer, inventor and developer of high tech, sustainable and energy efficient lighting instruments. Striving to enhance architecture as illuminated structure and enhance the emotional visual experience and quality of visibility.
He strives to turn his interest in emerging technologies and trends in to useful designs or interesting adjuncts to his chosen field of lighting. Merging new technology with architectural momentum and anthropomorphic limitations. He believes that lighting has to be useful, interesting and artistic. It is an ever expanding field of knowledge fueled by our need to “see” everything and it influences our being; emotionally and physically from waking to sleep.
St. Ives’ first successful designs introduced indirect glare-free lighting for commercial interiors in to the British Isles, Europe and then the USA. His goal was to improve the quality of visibility for computer users while cutting energy use by half.
His curiosity and imagination are continuing his development of better lighting; embracing the latest LED technology and finding ways to introduce those ideas into our everyday life. His designs and ideas have spawned three successful companies in the USA, which he controls and runs, with the help of his talented and dedicated colleagues.
