What LUMA DESIGN WORKSHOP LLC does

LUMA Design Workshop LLC is a Seattle-based custom furniture and lighting manufacturer founded in 2013 by husband-and-wife team Nicholas and Jessica Mayer alongside the Lucas family of Lucas Interior Design. The company designs and handcrafts made-to-order architectural statement pieces that integrate multiple materials — wood, metal, glass, stone, resin, and cast glass — through in-house metal fabrication, woodshop, and finishing capabilities. Notable proprietary techniques include hand-applied metal patinas across aluminum, steel, brass, bronze, and stainless steel; a textured metal process using electricity and salt water to create controlled aged aesthetics; and handmade cast glass produced via a week-long kiln cooling cycle with a local glass artist. As of 2015, the Mayers are sole owners, and they also operate a separate fabrication studio, Mayer Designs, Inc., from the same Seattle facility.

LUMA's product portfolio consists of seven core furniture collections (Silo, Strap, Float, Block, Flip, Bend, and Geo) plus a Vessel accessory collection, with the majority of revenue derived from custom orders — dimensional variations, design mash-ups, or fully bespoke requests — rather than standard catalog purchases. The business operates on a quote-based pricing model with no public pricing, no e-commerce channel, and no direct-to-consumer digital surface. Sales are executed by appointment through a network of seven showroom partners across major US metros (Seattle, San Francisco, Denver, Minneapolis, Chicago, Atlanta) and Toronto, Canada. Customers are primarily high-end residential interior designers, architects, and the affluent end-clients they represent.

LUMA is privately held with no disclosed institutional investment, no app, no API, and a small fabricator team of 1-10 employees. The company expanded its in-house capabilities in February 2024 by adding a woodshop to integrate woodwork with its existing metal fabrication services, launched the Open Strap Coffee Table in September 2024, and extended distribution into Canada and the Upper Midwest via new showroom partners. The company emphasizes 100% American-made production, locally sourced Pacific Northwest materials, and sustainability positioning in its brand communications.
