Founded in 2015 by Edinburgh University friends Josh, Max, and William, Tala is committed to creating design-led, sustainable lighting that enhances homes and supports a low-carbon world. Our London-based teams of designers and engineers push the boundaries of technology to deliver exceptional, low-energy lighting solutions that are gentle on the planet. As proud B-Corp members, sustainability permeates every aspect of our operations, from material selection to energy efficiency, ensuring we minimize our environmental footprint.
Our lighting is engineered in-house with top-quality components to withstand the test of time. Inspired by Frank Lloyd Wright's philosophy of staying close to nature, we infuse our designs with biophilic principles, using responsibly sourced, recyclable materials like aluminium and brass, and avoiding plastic. We prioritize circular design, creating durable, repairable products to combat electronic waste, and our high-quality LED technology, which is 90% more efficient and lasts ten times longer than traditional lighting, significantly reduces CO2 emissions.
Tala is dedicated to impactful environmental initiatives, having planted over 130,000 trees through various reforestation projects. We are carbon neutral on all inbound shipments, with a goal of reaching net carbon zero by 2025. Our commitment to sustainability extends to 100% plastic-free packaging, saving approximately 8,000kg of single-use plastic annually. As a B Corp™, we are proud to lead the charge in sustainable lighting, demonstrating the brilliance of low-carbon living, one light at a time.
