Handcrafted Lighting with Character
Iron Oak by Declan Veale, a handcrafted lighting business based in Waterford, Ireland, specialising in bespoke lamps and commercial lighting created from reclaimed wood, recycled car parts, and salvaged materials.
Founded by myself Decky Veale, Iron Oak was built from a passion for craftsmanship, creativity, and sustainable design. Every piece is individually handmade with attention to detail, transforming everyday materials into unique lighting with warmth, personality, and industrial character.
From statement lamps for homes to large-scale commercial lighting for cafés, bars, restaurants, offices, and retail spaces, each design is tailored to suit the customer’s vision and space. No two pieces are ever the same, making every creation completely unique.
At Iron Oak, the goal is simple, to create lighting that not only looks incredible but also tells a story through craftsmanship, reuse, and design.

Bespoke Design Process
Whether you have a full idea in mind or just a rough concept, I work closely with every client throughout the design process. Customers can share inspiration images, measurements, or ideas, and together a custom lighting piece is developed to suit the space perfectly.
Every project is built with care, creativity, and quality craftsmanship from start to finish.
