OUR PHILOSOPHY

THE BALANCE OF CRAFT AND INTENTION

At LUMA, we believe every piece should carry the weight of intention. From the careful selection of locally sourced materials to the hands that precisely shape each joint and weld each seam, we are guided by a commitment to craft that respects both the process and the people it serves. We do not chase trends. We build pieces designed to last, pieces that quietly anchor the spaces they live in.

Craftsmanship
with Integrity

We blend modern design with traditional techniques to create furniture pieces that endure. Handcrafted in our Pacific Northwest workshop by artisans who care deeply about the details. Ensuring every piece reflects the quality and refinement it deserves.

Sustainability and Stewardship

We believe good design should be kind to the environment. By sourcing materials locally, minimizing waste, and building furniture meant to last generations, we reduce our environmental footprint while supporting local businesses.

Relationships and Care

LUMA thrives on relationships—with our clients, our team and our specialty vendors. We work closely with each client to ensure their vision is realized and prioritizing the customer experience at every stage.

Design for the Future

Modern Design, Mindful of Tomorrow

Designing for the future means thinking beyond today’s aesthetics. We consider the full lifecycle of each piece we create—from material sourcing and fabrication to the years it will spend in your space. By building furniture that is both functional and timeless, we create pieces we hope will be treasured for decades to come.

Simplicity is Sophistication

The LUMA Promise

At LUMA, we blend artistry with craftsmanship to create striking architectural statement pieces. Our mastery of wood and metal finishes allows us to craft refined, one-of-a-kind designs tailored to each client’s vision. From rich patinated metals that develop depth and character to smooth, sculptural wood finishes, we continuously push the boundaries of texture and materiality.

About Luma

OUR STORY

LUMA Design Workshop is a design/build furniture company based in Seattle, founded in 2013 by husband-and-wife custom fabrication duo, Nicholas and Jessica Mayer, and the Lucas interior design firm, also family owned and operated. LUMA represents a modern and simply sophisticated collection of furniture. These subtle statement pieces are bold yet modest to complement and enhance a wide range of environments.

The LUMA collection embodies an open and ongoing dialogue between modern design, traditional craftsmanship, refined materials, and artistic finishes. Every piece LUMA creates stands on its own as a declaration to the LUMA philosophy: simplicity is sophistication.

LUMA believes furniture design does not need to be complicated, it just needs to be done well.

Design perfection at its core

Expertly and thoughtfully designed, every LUMA piece is meticulously finished, with no detail left unturned. The collections are handmade by Seattle craftspeople using locally sourced materials, wood, metal, glass, stone. LUMA offers a wealth of earthly materials born from a lifetime of experience and exploration in the custom design trades.

Jessica Mayer is known in the custom fabrication community for her unique, luxury metal patina finishes which are an unmatched art in and of themselves.

LUMA offers a large palette of finishes and materials which accentuate their designs. From hand applied metal patinas to custom formulated wood stains, hand-made cast glass, and carefully selected stone; LUMA’s thoughtful designs incorporate materials seamlessly and effortlessly. This is the signature of the brand, its’ timeless and seamless materials.

reflecting simplicity at its best

The collections, including Strap, the original that started it all, followed by Silo, Float, Block, Flip, Bend, and Geo. Each are named after the dictionary definitions of their main design element, reflecting the brand’s core element of simplicity.

In the Strap collection, a strap literally runs through the clean, modern pieces. In the Flip collection, fabricated L-shapes flip in new directions creating new ways to interpret shapes.

Every detail matters and the details are subtle yet sophisticated.

evolution of the brand

LUMA’s line of high-quality furniture evolved out of the close artistic collaboration between Jessica and Nicholas Mayer of Mayer Designs Inc. and interior design firm Lucas, Inc., led by David and Suzie Lucas. Based on their collective passion for creating custom furniture, and the perfect blend of talent and creativity, LUMA was founded.

The name LUMA combines the letters of the founders last names Lucas, Inc. and Mayer Designs, Inc. LUMA represents the consequential connection between thoughtful, modern design and accomplished craftsmanship.
