Our Story · Est. 2018

Lighting 100,000 homes,
one warm glow at a time.

What began in 2018 as a small studio with one idea — that beautifully designed light belongs in every home — has grown into a global lighting company with our own factory, our own warehouse, and a team you can actually pick up the phone and talk to.

It started with one stubborn idea.

That the lights in your living room shouldn't have to be ordinary. That sculptural form, warm light, and honest materials shouldn't be reserved for showrooms and design magazines.

So we started small. A few studios. A handful of designers. A short list of fixtures we genuinely loved. Then we kept going — because every time someone wrote in to say their dining room finally felt right, we knew the idea was working.

Eight years on, we're still chasing the same thing: the moment someone walks into a room they've lit themselves and thinks, this is the home I wanted.

Docos lighting in a warm living room — our story
Eight Years In

A short chronology.

Four chapters that took us from one tiny studio to a global operation lighting homes across North America, Europe, and Australia.

2018
Chapter One

A studio. An idea.

Docos opens with one principle: bring sculptural, designer lighting out of trade-only showrooms and into ordinary homes — at a price that doesn't require a designer's markup.

2020
Chapter Two

We went all in on digital.

When physical retail paused, we built the website our customers actually deserved — searchable, image-first, and shipped from real US inventory. Our reach jumped from regional to national in twelve months.

2022
Chapter Three

We built our own factory.

To guarantee the finish, the weight, the way a brass arm catches light — we invested in our own production center in Jiangmen, Asia. Today, over 300 designers, engineers, and craftspeople work under one roof.

Today
Chapter Four

100,000 homes and counting.

Offices in the US, UK, Vietnam, Hong Kong, and Singapore. A Maryland warehouse stocked with 20,000+ fixtures. A customer team that picks up the phone — and a story still being written.

— 01 / Global Reach

Designed everywhere we work, shipped from down the road.

Our design team draws from five offices on three continents — the US, UK, Vietnam, Hong Kong, and Singapore — so the influences in each collection come from more than one zip code. But every order ships from one place: our Maryland warehouse. Five days to your door, anywhere in North America.

— 02 / Vertically Integrated

One roof, start to finish.

Most lighting brands outsource. We don't. Our Jiangmen production center handles everything in-house — design, prototyping, casting, finishing, QC, packing. Over 300 people, twelve disciplines, working under the same roof.

The result: when we say a fixture is hand-finished in a particular brass tone, we know the person who finished it. When a sample needs to ship next week, we walk down the hall instead of writing an email.

— 03 / US-Based Service

You can actually reach us.

Our customer team works from Maryland — real people, real names, real time zones. The reviews speak for themselves: "twelve-hour response," "she actually cared," "called me a rockstar." None of it is automation. It's just how we run a business.

Hazelle, Maya, Daniel, and the team take every email, message, and call. When something goes wrong — and occasionally it does — they fix it before you have to ask twice.

The two lights are gorgeous. I'd read about some past customer-service issues, but they've clearly heard you and made the changes — Hazelle was a rockstar, replying with care, not just answers.
