We’re Oksana and Oleksii, a husband and wife duo from Ukraine and the founders of Light Craft Family.

 

Our journey started back in 2016 in Kyiv, where we met working for the same electrical supplier. Not long after, we got married, started a family, and dreamt of building something of our own. When the war began in 2022, that dream turned into something much more urgent. Oksana arrived in the UK with our children, while Oleksii stayed behind, designing and prototyping nightlights using oak from a small local workshop that was struggling to survive. Those early lights were hand-assembled, plastic-free, and crafted with care — a warm glow during a dark time.

​

In 2023 we reunited in London and officially launched Light Craft Family — a small, family-run brand making beautiful oak wood nightlights and homeware. We still work with Ukrainian wood and are proud to support local makers back home. Now, with access to a woodworking space here in London, we’re able to expand, customise and bring new ideas to life. Our mission is simple: to make any space feel like home — just as we’ve done for our own family.
