Tala

London, U.K.

Light to Live By

Tala makes lighting that feels as good as it looks—high-efficiency LED bulbs and refined fixtures designed to lower energy use, last longer, and set a softer, calmer mood at home.

As a Certified B Corp, Tala builds sustainability into every detail: responsible materials, circular principles, and low-impact packaging.

Why it matters for Japandi: warm, balanced light supports mindful living and the quiet beauty of simple forms.

Rooted in purpose

A British studio pioneering sustainable LED lighting that pairs design, technology, and responsibility. Founded by university friends Joshua Ward, Max Wood, and William Symington, Tala has grown from an idea at Edinburgh into a global design partner.

Where it all begins

London-born with a global footprint, serving homes and designers across the UK, EU, and US.

What they create

Mouth-blown and sculptural LED bulbs, refined fixtures, and accessories that deliver warm, dimmable light while using a fraction of the energy and lasting far longer than traditional bulbs.

The Japandi connection

In a calm interior, light is the quiet anchor. Tala’s Dim-to-Warm glow softens edges, tames glare, and sets an evening rhythm—supporting slower rituals and natural materials without visual noise.
