Kairoz collection of lamps №1
Kairoz is a small manufacturer based in Salzburg, focused on beautiful design and handcraft with a bespoke quality, founded in April 2018.
Taking inspiration from beauty found in nature, the lighting structures are fashioned after fir cones, drops, leafs or other elements and shapes. Due to the character of the wood they give off cozy ambient light and their unique shadowing allows for special accents to fill the room around them.
Handcrafted in Salzburg
High quality beech, pine, and poplar are carefully hand selected, cut with modern laser technology and then lovingly treated with oils, glazes, and varnishes to achieve a fine-tuned polished finish. The treated wooden elements are then pieced together in a sophisticated technique, limiting the need for additional materials to fashion the ideal shape.
For questions about custom-made or other individualized laser-cut and engraved products such as photo books, menus, wedding accessories, etc., please ping me wire email at hello@kairoz.at
Story
I am Julia, the one-woman-show behind Kairoz. I have a background in graphic design but have always had a passion for handcraft and creating physical objects. These two interests of mine came together in a perfect setting for Kairoz to come to life when I started experimenting with a laser cutter in a shared local workshop. After some attempts, I started to work on fashioning a lamp and it kicked off from there; followed quickly by more ideas, technical improvements, and creative prototypes. I took the brave stop of starting my own business, taking part in handcraft markets and exhibitions. I also had the chance to display my work at Vienna Design Week and was honored to be named a laureate of the “Salzburger Handwerkspreis”.
Kairoz, the brand name, was inspired by the Greek god who has a bald head in the back and long curly hair in the front, making it only possible to seize him from the front. Kairoz is about time and that single moment you need to seize or it is gone forever. For me, I want to seize this moment and take the opportunity to bring my passions to life and light up the homes of many through my art.
