Australian design with a purpose

Designing and manufacturing cordless lamps for hospitality and home since 1995.

The NEOZ Story

NEOZ designs and manufactures professional cordless table lighting for hospitality and design-led interiors worldwide. Our work is shaped by the details that matter in real environments: consistency from table to table, balance of light and shadow, and dependable performance night after night. Every product is created to feel naturally suited to its setting while delivering uncompromising durability and technical performance.

Pioneering cordless lighting

Founded in Australia in 1983, NEOZ has spent more than four decades exploring how light supports atmosphere, experience and place. In 1995, the company developed the world’s first professional cordless table lamp, responding to the operational demands of fine-dining environments where flexibility, performance and ambience are essential. Designed by founder and industrial designer Peter Ellis, the concept established a new category that NEOZ continues to lead today.

NEOZ cordless lighting systems are now specified in leading venues across more than 100 countries, spanning restaurants, bars, hotels, resorts and superyachts. While global in reach, the work remains grounded in hospitality, shaped by how lighting is specified, handled and used in demanding commercial settings.

Built by people, shaped by expertise

NEOZ is defined as much by its people as by its products. CEO Jon Hemming has brought together expertise across industrial design, electronics engineering, manufacturing and hospitality insight. This multidisciplinary approach allows ideas to move seamlessly from concept through to production and long-term use.

Designed, engineered and hand-assembled in Sydney, Australia, every NEOZ product reflects this integrated way of working. Close collaboration between designers, engineers and makers ensures control over quality, performance and longevity, while allowing the collection to evolve alongside new technologies, materials and operational requirements.

Design-driven. Technology-led

NEOZ balances expressive, character-led design with rigorous technical performance. From compact lamps suited to minimal footprints and high table density, to more sculptural and architectural forms, each product is carefully resolved to deliver precise, atmospheric light in demanding hospitality environments.

Cordless technology enables freedom of placement, intuitive service and consistent ambience across a venue.

Made for life in hospitality

Hospitality environments demand precision. Lighting is handled constantly, moved frequently and expected to perform reliably over long service hours. NEOZ designs with this reality in mind, creating products that are robust, intuitive and dependable without compromising on aesthetics or experience.

A modular design philosophy sits at the core of the collection. Key components are serviceable, repairable and updatable, supporting long product lifespans while helping venues maintain consistency as interiors evolve. Parts remain available for products decades after release, reflecting a practical and responsible approach to sustainability and lifecycle value.

Collaborative by nature

NEOZ works closely with architects, designers, hoteliers, operators and procurement teams to deliver site-specific lighting solutions. Flexibility across form, finish and performance, from bespoke lampshades to tailored recharging systems, ensures each solution responds to both design intent and operational needs.

Design-driven, technology-led and shaped by the expertise of the people behind it, NEOZ continues to refine the art and engineering of cordless lighting. The company creates objects that integrate seamlessly into service, space and experience while quietly elevating the environments they inhabit.
