The Design Philosophy Behind Hannah Wilson
At Eden Lighting, design is not an afterthought — it is the foundation of how we create lighting for modern New Zealand homes. As a New Zealand–based lighting specialist, our approach is shaped by real-world experience, local knowledge, and a deep understanding of how light functions in everyday living. Many of Eden Lighting’s most recognisable collections are developed through a designer-led process, guided by Hannah Wilson.
A Designer-Led Approach to Lighting
Rather than simply sourcing products, Eden Lighting works closely with in-house design direction to ensure our lighting collections meet the practical and aesthetic needs of New Zealand homes. Hannah Wilson plays a key role in shaping this vision, contributing to the design and development of many of our exclusive lighting designs.
Her work focuses on balance — creating lighting that is visually refined, functional in real spaces, and suitable for long-term living. This philosophy allows Eden Lighting to offer products that feel considered rather than trend-driven.
Global Inspiration, Gained Through Experience
Each year, Hannah travels extensively across Europe, Asia, and the Middle East, drawing inspiration from architecture, hospitality interiors, and everyday urban spaces. From the ambient lighting found in European boutique hotels to the clean lines of contemporary Asian interiors, these environments influence how she approaches proportion, materiality, and light distribution.
Importantly, this inspiration is not copied directly. Instead, it is filtered through years of hands-on experience in lighting development, helping transform global design ideas into lighting products suitable for New Zealand lifestyles.
Designing for New Zealand Homes
A key part of Hannah’s design philosophy is practicality. New Zealand homes present unique challenges — varying ceiling heights, open-plan living areas, and the need for lighting that functions across multiple uses.
When developing lighting designs, careful consideration is given to:
- Ceiling height and room scale
- Light output and ambience
- Material durability and finish longevity
- How a fitting integrates with modern NZ interiors
This experience-driven approach ensures that Eden Lighting products are not only visually appealing, but also perform well in real homes across Auckland and throughout New Zealand.
Exclusive Lighting Collections at Eden Lighting
Many of the lighting designs shaped by Hannah Wilson are exclusive to Eden Lighting and are not available through other retailers in New Zealand. These designer-led collections are developed to provide customers with distinctive options beyond mass-produced lighting.
From sculptural pendant lights and refined chandeliers to subtle wall lights and decorative table lamps, each piece reflects a commitment to thoughtful design and quality execution.
Light Designed with Purpose
For Hannah, lighting is about more than appearance — it is about how a space feels over time. Her design input helps ensure that Eden Lighting products remain timeless, adaptable, and suitable for everyday living.
By combining global inspiration, hands-on design experience, and a strong understanding of New Zealand homes, Eden Lighting offers lighting solutions that customers can trust — supported by local expertise, exclusive designs, and long-term after-sales support.
