Koskela's Social impact collaborations
Illuminating Stories. Empowering Communities. Designed for Purpose.
Koskela’s Social Impact Lighting collections is groundbreaking collaboration between our design team and First Nations art centres across Australia, transforming traditional weaving practices as well as artist-led contemporary design into modern, functional lighting for both residential and commercial interiors.
Every pendant or wall light is handwoven by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander artists using locally harvested plant fibres and natural, hand-made dyes. These materials are gathered through labour-intensive processes that maintain cultural practices and support community-led environmental stewardship—from foraging and dyeing, to weaving and finishing.
