Introducing ‘Pooky Projects’, a dedicated division for hospitality, commercial, and large-scale design

Founded in 2014 by entrepreneur Rohan Blacker, Pooky has grown from a direct-to-consumer lighting brand into a trusted partner for interior designers and trade professionals worldwide. In 2024 – its 10th anniversary year – the company successfully launched in the United States, expanding its footprint across four showrooms in London, Leeds, the Cotswolds, and New York.

A New Chapter: Pooky Projects

Pooky Projects formalises the company’s long-standing expertise in large-volume and fully customised lighting. The new division offers three distinct pathways to suit every scale, style, and budget:

Existing (Off-the-Shelf)

Thousands of ready-made SKU combinations with 3–5 day delivery for in-stock items. Large-volume production available with 8–12 week lead times and no minimum order quantity on made-to-order existing designs.

Semi-Bespoke

An ideal middle ground – starting with an existing Pooky product and adjusting colours, finishes, materials, or components. MOQs from 100–200 units with approximately 15–20% pricing uplift and rapid feasibility checks within 1–2 days. Lead time: 12–20 weeks.

Bespoke

Fully custom lighting created from scratch in collaboration with Pooky’s Design Director, from first sketch and CAD to samples and final manufacturing. Lead time: 20–24 weeks.

The division is supported by a dedicated project manager and an in-house technical team offering wiring guidance, certification advice, and product suitability insights. All Pooky products (excluding bulbs) come with a five-year guarantee, and for semi-bespoke orders, the company holds 5–10% spare units at no extra cost to safeguard installation and long-term maintenance.

Pooky products meet both UL and CE certification standards and can be supplied with custom plug and voltage options for international projects.
