Studio

Oehl Lighting is a Vancouver, BC-based lighting design studio, founded and run by Sterling Oehlschlager.


Sterling draws on a diverse background in construction carpentry, woodworking, and a lifelong passion for design.


Every piece created at Oehl Lighting is a careful balance of functionality, material possibilities, and visual beauty.


All designs are designed and handcrafted by Sterling in his Vancouver studio.

Process

  1. Design — Each fixture begins as a sketch, refined through material exploration and prototyping.
  2. Material Selection — Sterling laboriously sources premium hardwoods for their grain, stability, and finish quality.
  3. Handcrafting — Every piece is carved, shaped, and sanded in the Vancouver studio.
  4. Finishing — Multiple coats of hand-applied finish protect the wood and enhance natural grain.
  5. Assembly & Quality Check — Hardware, wiring, and glass components are carefully integrated and tested before shipping.
