The Visual Comfort story
Andy Singer founded Visual Comfort in Houston, Texas, in 1987 and built it by working directly with designers. Today Visual Comfort & Co. partners with some of the best-known names in interiors and fashion.
We stock its Studio and Generation collections, which bring those designers' work to more accessible prices. Visual Comfort says many of its fittings are made by hand, which is why hand-blown glass can show tiny bubbles or lines.

Share of lighting products that met key compliance requirements, by where they were sold
131 lighting products sold to Australian consumers, checked March–April 2026 by Lighting Council Australia, an industry body. 61% came from suppliers with no registration to sell electrical equipment in Australia.1
New Zealand's Electrical Workers Registration Board advises electricians to be prepared to say no to fittings a client supplies, and not to install them without a valid Supplier Declaration of Conformity. Ours come with one, and your electrician can rely on it.2, 3
About the brand
Every Visual Comfort fitting we sell is factory-converted to meet AU/NZ electrical safety standards, with Supplier Declarations of Compliance available. Most take standard E14 or E27 bulbs.
Many collections come in matching wall, pendant and chandelier versions, so you can carry one design through a room or a whole house. Our best-sellers include the Katie wall sconce and chandelier, the Keaton wall light and the Cordtlandt semi-flush ceiling light.
