Meet Kim Thelander-Thomas, Global Sales Consultant at NEOZ, whose passion and precision drive the company’s global success. From managing international sales to crafting custom lighting solutions, Kim brings energy and expertise to every client interaction. Her favourite lamps, the Bellingen with its warm timber elegance, and the white Tall Poppy, a modern statement in light, reflect her love for natural beauty and timeless design.
A change of seasons is the perfect time to refresh your portable lighting. Many of our signature lamps — including the Albert, Bellingen, Manhattan, Ritz, Elizabeth, and Victoria — offer interchangeable shades that subtly shift atmosphere and texture for the season. The Victoria also features refined sleeve options that add warmth and depth to its iconic silhouette. These small modular updates allow your lamps to evolve naturally, rather than needing replacement.
Extending the life of each lamp and reducing unnecessary waste has always been part of NEOZ’s design philosophy, and from mid-November, it will become even easier for customers to access the parts they need.
Amid a defining era of growth at NEOZ, Tammy helped shape the brand’s creative direction — from co-developing the now-iconic Cooee collection with Peter Ellis to playing a part in the introduction of the groundbreaking V4.5 system. The Cooee lamps, simple yet unmistakably NEOZ, became a hallmark of that evolution. We spoke with Tammy about those formative years, the creation of the Cooee range, and what she has carried forward since.
Each year, The World’s 50 Best Hotels list celebrates excellence in global hospitality — and this year’s rankings mark a proud moment for NEOZ. Roughly a third of the hotels recognised in the past year feature NEOZ portable cordless lamps, illuminating some of the world’s most refined restaurants, bars, and guest spaces.
The Big Group, one of Australia’s leading event companies, is renowned for transforming spaces with creativity and precision. At Sydney’s MCA Foundation Hall, they chose the NEOZ Elizabeth cordless lamp to complement the venue’s elegant Art Deco interiors. The lamp’s warm brass finish and soft illumination enhance the hall’s heritage charm, creating an atmosphere that’s both grand and intimate.
Our procurement manager, Nicole Liu, shares how she bridges creativity and practicality at NEOZ, and why the Gem Amber lamp is her favourite — a warm, calming light that perfectly balances elegance, sustainability, and function.
The Bellingen Lamp celebrates the quiet beauty of simplicity. Shaped from locally sourced Camphor Laurel timber, each piece carries the natural grain and character of the wood, finished by hand to reveal its warmth and depth. A softly glowing glass shade completes the form, creating a gentle interplay between material and light. Cordless and rechargeable, Bellingen brings the intimacy of candlelight into modern spaces, blending craftsmanship, sustainability and timeless design.
Simplicity is powerful. In the fast-paced world of hospitality, where every detail matters, lighting should enhance the atmosphere, not complicate it. At NEOZ, we believe true simplicity in design is not about removing features, but about refining every detail until only what’s essential remains. That philosophy guides the modular design of our cordless table lamps, created to deliver effortless reliability, intuitive use, and lasting performance.
