Founded in 1997, John Fearon and James Bassant came together to create Astro with a shared commitment to British lighting design and a passion for quality and precision. Now entering their 20th year, Astro’s creative ethos has remained consistent throughout Ė that good design demands simplicity.
It all began in the basement of a house in Sevenoaks. John Fearon and James Bassant shared a passion for British lighting design, even if it meant descending a ladder to get to work. As part of Astro’s strategy for sustainable growth, it was time to set up a division across the pond in the United States of America.
