Tom Rossau is a Danish lighting designer who started a business in the basement of his parents’ house in Fårevejle, Denmark. He first started experimenting with design when he used LEGO and everything else he could get his hands on to bring his ideas to life. It didn’t take long for him to develop a specific style that focused on leather. Tom created and sewed all his designs himself and in 1997, he opened a shop in Copenhagen.
Since 2004, Tom and he's studio has primarily worked with natural wood veneer. Initially his lamps were only available at his shop on Istedgade in Copenhagen, but in 2006 the TR4, TR5, TR6 and TR7 were introduced to the general public at Copenhagen’s Furniture Conference, where TR7 was voted the Audience Favourite. Ever since then, Tom Rossau's lighting has taken the design world by storm, with many of he's designs used in some of the most prestigious interior projects around the world.
