Hounddog Design is a small, contemporary studio based in Brighton, United Kingdom, specialising in Scandinavian-inspired lighting. With a focus on simple elegance and a distinctive natural aesthetic, each piece is crafted to bring warmth and a "feel-good" atmosphere to any space.
Every product is made to order in-house, allowing for meticulous attention to detail and consistent quality. The studio champions modern, environmentally considerate materials to create lighting that is not only durable and functional but also visually impactful.
Founded by Nick Newlands, a former mechanical design engineer, Hounddog Design emerged following his time at the Rowden Atelier School of Fine Furniture in 2018 — a formative year that sparked his transition into lighting. This shift opened the door to more expressive, flexible forms and a hands-on approach to design and production.
Though still a young brand, Hounddog Design is driven by bold ambition. It thrives on creative collaboration with individuals and professionals alike. Customisation is welcomed — whether in colour, size, or geometry — and samples are available to support the design journey. The goal is simple: to create lighting that people love to live with.
