What A-N-D does
A-N-D (legal entity AND Designs Inc., DBA 'AND Light') is a private, founder-led decorative luminaire design studio and manufacturer headquartered in Vancouver, British Columbia, with an European showroom in Copenhagen and a USA distribution warehouse in Blaine, Washington. Founded in 2014 by principal designers Caine Heintzman and Lukas Peet, the firm conceptualizes, engineers, and assembles its products in-house, with a catalog of 16 collections spanning pendants, chandeliers, ceiling/wall fixtures, table and floor lamps across form factors including circular (Button), modular linear (Pipeline), acoustic wool-covered (Slab), glass-blown (Pebble), prismatic (Vale), architectural (Column), brutalist (Vector), and extruded aluminum (Tier) series. Core technology includes dim-to-warm LED controls, proprietary anodized aluminum finishes in extended color sets, hand-blown glass manufacturing, precision aluminum extrusion, and 100% natural merino wool felt acoustic-dampening materials, with products specified at 50,000-hour LED lifespan and CRI 90+ across multi-voltage platforms (110-120V, 220-240V, 110-277V).
The firm generates revenue primarily through one-time hardware sales of decorative luminaires, both via a global network of authorized retailers and agents spanning 25+ countries and via direct custom/bespoke project work with architects and interior designers; pricing is not publicly disclosed and is set through trade-channel markups and project-specific quotes. Customer segments are weighted toward hospitality (boutique hotels, restaurants, cafes including Drake Hotel, Eden Locke Hotel, Falper), high-end residential (custom homes, penthouses including Shangri-La Vancouver and Burgers Architecture projects), commercial/retail (Shopify Toronto HQ, Roden Gray, Klaus Showroom), and architectural specification work. Go-to-market combines event-driven brand building (Milan Design Week, 3 Days of Design, ICFF, Dutch Design Week), earned editorial coverage in Wallpaper*, Dezeen, Azure, Frame, and Metropolitan, organic social on Instagram, Pinterest, Facebook, and LinkedIn, and digital specification tools including REVIT/IES/Rhino/Sketchup downloads on the company site.
The firm is privately held with no disclosed external funding, parent company, or institutional investors and operates with a small team in the 11-50 employee band. Brand positioning is anchored in an 'authenticity' ethos, formalized through membership in Be Original Americas, and reinforced by seven consecutive Archiproducts Design Awards (2019-2025), a 2024 Wallpaper* Design Award, the 2026 Azure People's Choice Award, and 2021 Industrial Designer of the Year recognition for Caine Heintzman from Western Living Magazine.
