NULTY Acquires KLAASEN Lighting Design

Nulty has announced the expansion of its reach across Europe and Asia, with a particular focus on Singapore, through the acquisition of KLAASEN Lighting Design—a brand with a 40-year legacy in the architectural lighting design industry.

This acquisition strengthens the long-standing relationship between Nulty and KLAASEN, a globally respected firm known for its innovative approach to lighting design and commitment to collaborative client relationships.

Martin Klaasen, Founder of KLAASEN, will assume the role of Managing Partner at Nulty, bringing over 30 years of experience and significant influence within the industry. He will work alongside Paul Nulty and Mark Vowles to oversee projects across the Asia-Pacific region, ensuring continued delivery of creative excellence and exceptional client service.

In Europe, Jordan Faust will become Managing Partner of the newly established Lisbon studio, integrating KLAASEN’s team into Nulty’s European division. With expertise in lighting design and landscape architecture, Faust will collaborate closely with Ellie Coombs, Managing Partner of Nulty’s London studio, to expand the firm’s presence and drive new projects across Europe.

This acquisition marks an exciting step in Nulty’s journey to broaden its global reach and enhance its creative capabilities.

“Today marks an exciting new chapter as we welcome KLAASEN into our Nulty family. As we look to consolidate our position as a market leading brand and build alliances in key markets, Martin and his team will fuel our growth plan and provide an injection of new talent and specialist expertise. We’re delighted to have them on board to take Nulty to greater heights," said Paul Nulty.
