Founded by Jeff Fuller in 2013 with the vision of offering tailor made high end indoor and outdoor lighting that portrays unique and hand crafted lighting design, The Light Yard was launched to provide a carefully selected collection of handcrafted and bespoke lighting solutions.
Since meeting over 10 years ago, Jeff and Gwyn re-envision the brand identity in order to underscore the company’s artisanal offering and unique business model and in 2020 The Light Yard was rebranded as Gwyn Carless at The Light Yard, with all lighting produced exclusively through Gwyn’s Chesterfield studio.
The UK is arguably the world leading creative powerhouse of artisanal design and our indoor and outdoor collections have been specifically designed to push the boundaries of contemporary lighting design.
