Our Story
RS Studio is a Melbourne-based creative studio specialising in handmade, sustainable, corded and cordless lamps. Each piece is crafted using modern woodworking techniques, with a focus on quality and individuality.
Rael Solomon, the founder, brings years of experience in problem-solving and design, transitioning from a career in corporate marketing to hands-on craftsmanship in 2024.

At RS Studio, every piece is born from a deep appreciation for the natural beauty of Australian timber. Locally sourced sustainable materials are carefully selected, respecting their unique characteristics and embracing their imperfections. The hallmark of our work is the combination of traditional craftsmanship with modern manufacturing — designs that feel both timeless and personal.
RS Studio follows a thoughtful approach to craftsmanship, prioritising creativity and sustainability over mass production. The aim is to create lighting that enhances indoor and outdoor spaces with soft illumination, warmth and character. Every piece is designed to reflect a commitment to creativity, sustainability, and the enduring value of handmade design.
Inspired by Customers
One of our standout projects was the design of a portable, cordless lamp that redefined mood lighting in the home. A customer was looking for a lighting solution that was both functional and artistic—something that could easily move from room to room, or even take outdoors, casting a warm and inviting glow wherever it was placed.
We set out to create a piece that was not just a lamp but a sculptural statement. Using sustainable plywood and precise laser cutting, he crafted a sleek design that allowed soft light to diffuse gently through the perforations of the wood. The lamp featured a rechargeable battery, eliminating the need for disposable batteries or restrictive cords and making it a truly versatile lighting solution. The final result was a seamless blend of form and function—lightweight, portable, rechargeable, and perfect for creating ambiance anywhere in the home.
Proudly made in Melbourne
Each of our pieces tell a story of passion, precision, and artistry, combining natural materials with innovative design to create functional works of art that stand the test of time.
