Scotland

KSLD, a well-respected lighting design studio, was established in Edinburgh, Scotland, UK by Kevan Shaw in 1989, and has built a strong reputation in a wide range of areas over the last three decades. KSLD has an extensive portfolio of award-winning lighting design projects, both in Scotland and internationally.

KSLD became a part of EFLA Consulting Engineers in November 2018. The two companies have been working together for some time and the merger has allowed the team to join forces, increasing the scale of practice and market access throughout the Nordic region, Europe and the Middle East. This allows us to take our lighting design capability to exciting new levels, uniting remarkably complementary design teams focused on creating leading-edge solutions in lighting design.
