James Bassant
James began his career in lighting design after graduating from Kingston University with a degree in Product & Furniture Design. After working for a number of lighting brands in the industry, James co-founded Astro in 1997. Over 23 years later, James remains as Design Director, leading a busy team of twelve in-house designers. His natural eye for simple, timeless design allows him to draw on influences from life, and translate these into considered, pared back luminaires that will stand the test of time.
