Brett is a New Zealand-born photographer and lecturer based in England, a photographer and lecturer with a deep respect for analogue processes and a highly considered visual language. That way of seeing underpins Hausvolt.
Hausvolt was born from a long-standing fascination with mid-century industrial lighting — its purposeful forms, honest materials, and the quiet authority that comes from objects designed to work hard and last.
Today, Hausvolt focuses on sourcing, restoring, and refining industrial lighting for contemporary architectural and interior spaces. Each piece is carefully selected for its form and proportion, then renewed by hand — preserving its character while preparing it for modern use.
The approach is deliberately restrained. Finishes are clean, considered, and consistent, allowing the design of each fixture to sit comfortably within both residential and commercial environments. Rather than chasing patina or novelty, Hausvolt prioritises longevity, clarity, and visual coherence.
Hausvolt works with interior designers and architects seeking distinctive industrial lighting that complements strong spatial design — pieces with history, purpose, and a quiet confidence.
