About
Lamps made one at a time, in Nairobi.
Sato Lamps is a small studio in Nairobi. We design and make sculptural table and bedside lamps, finish each one by hand, and deliver it ourselves, one lamp at a time.
Why we make lamps
Most lamps sold in Kenya are imported in bulk, arrive with a bare socket, and are gone from the shelf the moment they break. We wanted lighting that felt considered: warm, dimmable light in the box, a body finished by hand, and a person in Nairobi who answers when you call.
Every lamp on this site is made in our studio, not pulled from a container. That is why the range is small and why some pieces sell out and come back.
What comes in the box
- The lamp, finished and checked by hand before it leaves the studio.
- A warm dimmable LED bulb, or a 16-colour RGB bulb if you choose it at checkout.
- A 12-month warranty on the body and wiring, honoured from Nairobi. See warranty and returns.
