Q&A

with John Fearon
CoFounder, Astro

Describe your business in one sentence.

We design high-quality, contemporary lighting
that's understated yet purposeful, with a
timelessness that sits confidently in any interior.

How do you continue to innovate when it
comes to product design?
Experimenting with different materials and
techniques until we capture the true essence
of a product. That moment of discovery or
innovation can be truly thrilling, it encourages
our passion for good design. It's also driven by
new technical developments and the need for
better, more sustainable design.

What is your design process like?

We host weekly concept meetings which are
the most exciting part of my job. Working
with our customers we discover what the
market is asking for and this gives us nice
chewy challenges. Recently we needed a new
illuminated magnifying mirror and James
(CoFounder & Design Director) came up
with the brilliant Orb design. Quite rightly it
occupies one of the coveted slots in our Capsule
Collection Volume 01.

What are the challenges you're facing?

The pandemic has emphasized the importance of
being a responsible and sustainable business. It's
evident which brands really 'walk the walk' and
stick by their values when times get tough. We
have a lot more to achieve, but our current strategy
ensures all business functions take responsibility
for how their processes impact our core pillars of
Planet, People and Product.

What's one of your greatest business
lessons?

When making tough decisions, listen to your gut,
take as much time as is available (if you need to),
and then act fast.

What is something exciting happening at
your company?

Last year we introduced our first Capsule
Collection which generated a lot of attention
and won several prestigious awards. This year
we are to launch Volume 02. It's been a unique
journey that showcased our teams' resilience and
passion for creating beautiful products despite
the circumstances. I can't wait to see if our US
customers give it the same approval as Volume 01.
