The origins of About Space date back to 1989, when founder and owner Mark Vasserman first started a company called Design Station, which created specialized furniture pieces for clients. In 2009, that company rebranded to focus on decorative lighting and changed their name to About Space – “Mark saw that lighting was something that Australia needed, and he had a real passion for it,” Veronica recalls. Since then, the company has evolved from a bespoke design business into one of Australia’s foremost lighting companies. Today, About Space has four showrooms across Melbourne, SydneyandTasmania, whilealso having an active online store. They work closely with retail customers as well as architects, interior designers, electrical wholesalers, contractors and developers. They source from Europe, Asia, and Australia in order to ensure their range offers the latest in functionality, design and sustainability. No matter who their client is, however, and no matter the scope of the project – whether it’s a single light to complete a room, or an entire home renovation – About Space’s approach is always the same. Their passionate and highlytrained team works closely with the client, whoever they are, to help deliver a contemporary and functional solution that meets their needs.

Even in those cases, however, Veronica says the company “still focuses on quality.”
