OVUUD evolved from the desire to keep design simple yet interesting. Through a meticulous selection of materials and painstaking attention to layout, OVUUD provides custom lighting and furniture that gives a captivating visual impression without being overwhelming. 

OVUUD is owned and operated by Benjamin Gillespie - a Philadelphia-based lighting and furniture designer.  The stylistically pure aesthetic of OVUUD flows naturally from Benjamin's background in carpentry, metalworking, and engineering.  This combination results in a diverse set of Scandinavian-inspired pieces that are individually distinctive yet cohesive as a collection. The primary focus of OVUUD is to utilize next-generation lighting technology to its fullest potential, thereby unlocking new approaches to how a lamp can look, feel, and function.
