Zero Lighting

Zero Interiör was founded in 1978 by Andris Nolendorfs and Roland Gill, who chose the name because they were starting from nothing. The company makes technical lighting that behaves decoratively — pendants, wall, floor and table lamps for public interiors — and remains family-owned through three generations of the Gill family.

Head office, assembly and warehouse sit in an old glass factory in Nybro, Småland, the Pukeberg works the company moved into in 1990; more than 80% of manufacturing happens within roughly 200 km of the town. Collaborations since 2004 with Thomas Bernstrand, Mattias Ståhlbom, Monica Förster and Front have kept the range young.
