Five reasons Velora is redefining handmade lighting.
Every fixture starts on a workbench, not a factory line. Nothing ships until you order it, and the person who designed it can tell you why it's built the way it is.
What you're actually paying for when you buy a Velora fixture.
Founder-led, hands-on craft.
Velora is led by Creative Director Kyle Bostic, who grew up around the trade through his father, a carpenter, and his grandfather, a lamp maker.
Handmade to order in Houston
Your fixture isn't pulled off a warehouse shelf. It's built after you place your order, by the same small workshop that's made every Velora piece since day one.
Individually designed, not copied.
Our designers look to antiques and vintage fixtures for inspiration, then draws up something new. Nothing in the catalog started as a stock template.
Curated, and fully custom.
We keep the collection tight on purpose so choosing is simple, but every piece can be customized (finish, shade, scale) so it's built to fit your space.
Sustainable sophistication.
We build with eco-friendly materials and energy-efficient components in every piece we make, so the fixture that elevates your room is doing right by the planet too.
