Through regular project work Earl Pinto has found clients are looking to specify the kind of Australian-made hand-crafted products in their quintessential style.
Often a happy accident leads to the development of a best-selling piece. “The Leaf light (developed out of a much larger orb-like design) was just sitting on the ground, and one of our customers said they loved it. Now that simple Leaf light is one of our biggest sellers.”
Earl Pinto continues to produce all their products from their Melbourne headquarters – “even our metal lighting component fittings and frames” – with a view to outsourcing the production of certain components to other local manufacturing houses.
"A strength of our business has been developing prototype components with local knowledge and that’s something we will continue to do,” says Lewis.
You can find popular Earl Pinto products, including the Kink stool Anise light and more at Soto Dining Room, 24 Moons, San Churro and Guavabean.
