Our story: how it all started

‘The solution for a common problem’

Engineer and founder Paul Constandse had a problem. Well.. his wife had a problem. As they furnished their newly built house in 2014, an issue arose: the dining room table had to be rotated yet again. And, therefore, he also needed to change the position of their pendant light again. Faced with the realisation of more drilling holes in his new ceiling, he was struck by a realization. “There just had to be a better solution, and I surely wasn’t the only one with this problem,” Paul recounted. This moment of frustration sparked a flurry of creativity at his dining room table, where he started to draw and sketch what would eventually become one of the 100 prototypes of his innovative design.

Unique and innovative Dutch Design

I naturally have a certain drive and I’m practically minded. You just have to get started.” Paul’s practical approach led to the creation of Lightswing®, a suspension system that revolutionized the placement and movement of pendant lights in homes. Over the years, this innovative and effective solution gained traction across the Netherlands. It wasn’t long before Lightswing® was picked up by Karwei, one of the largest DIY chains in the country, and made its way into over 250 lighting, home, and decor stores.

The solution for a common problem

Paul has been pushing the boundaries beyond his home country, bringing his distinct and innovative Dutch Design to the rest of Europe. “Lightswing® is about a recognizable and common problem in housholds across Europe and I created a solution for it”. Lightswing® is user-friendly and innovative because it addresses a clear need. Exactly what the consumer wants today. Ultimately, the bigger goal might be even more important: giving many people around the world a little extra flexibility and creativity. That’s what motivates me, and that’s what I aim to achieve.
