The Loft at Soho

We Ponder is a Tasmanian lighting brand based in South Hobart, bringing together contemporary design and the skill of local craftspeople. Founded by interior designer Rose Kiselev, the collection includes ceramic wall lights, handblown glass lighting and sculptural stainless steel pieces. Each design explores colour, texture and form, celebrating the small variations that make handmade objects special. Rose works closely with Tasmanian makers, including ceramicist Ian Clare in Cygnet and glass artist Keith Dougall in Poatina. Their knowledge of materials and traditional techniques helps shape every collection. Warm, tactile and a little playful, We Ponder offers a window into Tasmania's creative community through lighting designed to be lived with and enjoyed for years. Visits to the South Hobart studio are by appointment only. Access involves steps.
