Who We Work With
We work closely with architects, interior designers, and builders, as well as directly with private clients. Our collaborative approach allows us to integrate effortlessly into project teams, supporting design intent while offering practical, well-resolved lighting solutions.
​
Whether engaged at the early planning stage or brought in to refine a completed design, we provide clarity, expertise, and guidance throughout the process. While our core focus is high-end residential lighting, we also undertake select commercial projects where quality, longevity, and attention to detail are paramount.
​
​
A Considered Approach to Lighting Design
Our work is grounded in thoughtful design and meticulous attention to detail. Each project begins with an in-depth understanding of the architecture, interiors, and lifestyle requirements of the client.
​
We consider how each space will be used, the interplay between natural and artificial light, and the balance between ambient, task, and feature lighting. Our designs are layered and intentional, creating environments that feel warm, functional, and quietly sophisticated.
​
Rather than following trends for the sake of it, we draw inspiration from international lighting developments and timeless design principles, ensuring each solution remains relevant and enduring.​​​​
​
End-to-End Lighting Solutions
Sarita Sharman Lighting offers a comprehensive, end-to-end lighting service, managing every stage of the process with precision and care. This ensures consistency, quality, and peace of mind for our clients.
Lighting Design & Concept Development
We create tailored lighting designs that enhance architectural features and interior finishes. Every fitting is selected with intention, considering scale, placement, beam angles, colour temperature, and overall visual harmony.
Technical Layouts & Specifications
Detailed technical layouts and specifications form the foundation of a successful lighting installation. Our documentation is clear, accurate, and builder-friendly, ensuring smooth coordination on site and reducing the risk of costly errors.
​
Curated Product Sourcing
We are known for sourcing innovative, internationally recognised lighting brands, many of which are not readily available in the South African market. Through long-standing supplier relationships and access to exclusive imports, we offer clients premium lighting solutions at fair and transparent pricing.
Our product selection prioritises quality, longevity, refined aesthetics, and proven performance.
Procurement & Delivery
We manage procurement and delivery to ensure that all lighting components arrive on site as specified and on schedule. This streamlined process removes complexity for clients and project teams alike.
Installation Support & Post-Installation Review
Our involvement extends beyond delivery. We provide installation support and conduct post-installation reviews to ensure fittings are correctly installed and the lighting performs exactly as intended. This final step ensures the design vision is fully realised.
Residential Lighting Expertise
Residential lighting remains at the heart of what we do. We design lighting schemes for luxury homes, renovations, apartments, and holiday properties, with a focus on comfort, elegance, and ease of living.
Our residential lighting designs are layered and adaptable, allowing spaces to transition effortlessly from day to night. The result is lighting that feels natural, inviting, and perfectly attuned to the way our clients live.
Select Commercial Projects
In addition to residential work, we undertake select commercial projects where thoughtful lighting design adds real value. From boutique hospitality to offices and retail environments, our commercial lighting solutions balance functionality with refined aesthetics and long-term performance.
​
Our Philosophy
At Sarita Sharman Lighting, we value understated luxury, thoughtful design, and exceptional execution. We pride ourselves on offering a highly personalised service, clear communication, and expert guidance at every stage of a project.
Our clients choose us for our design-led approach, international product knowledge, and ability to deliver cohesive, beautifully resolved lighting solutions from concept to completion.
