Team & Roles

Lucaz is founded and led by Cora Lucaz, whose creative and strategic direction defines the design house. With a background in design-led property development, sourcing, restoration and complete spatial direction, her practice is informed by architecture, material intelligence and the relationship between objects and space.

Lucaz operates with a lean organisational structure, combining founder-led creative and strategic direction with senior specialist expertise in production, engineering and commercial execution. The structure is designed to build capability around the founder while retaining authorship, production knowledge and long-term decision-making within the company.

FOUNDING ROLE

Cora Lucaz — Founder & Creative Director
Cora conceives all original Lucaz designs and leads the creative and strategic direction of the company. Her responsibilities span product design, material and colour direction, collection architecture and the long-term development of Lucaz as an international design house.

Initial Team & Specialist Roles

Senior Production Lead / Consultant
Engaged at the outset to translate the design archive into technically resolved, economically sound and repeatable products. Responsibilities include technical development, compliance and certification requirements (including CE, UKCA and UL), DALI integration where relevant, supplier validation, manufacturing routes, costing, tooling and quality control across lighting, furniture and objects. The role supports and challenges technical decisions while preserving Cora Lucaz’s authorship and design intent.

Design Assistant
Supports collection development, material sourcing, drawings, specifications and technical documentation across product lines.

Operations Coordinator
Introduced as production activity increases, overseeing logistics, workshop coordination, timelines and made-to-order production flow.

External Specialists
Engaged as required across engineering and compliance, legal and IP, finance, visual identity, packaging, website and e-commerce development, communications, art direction and photography.

ORGANISATIONAL LOGIC

Lucaz is structured to remain compact and decision-driven. The company will add permanent roles only where increasing operational complexity justifies them, while specialist capabilities can remain external where appropriate. Product development, production coordination and commercial activity operate in direct communication rather than through layered management.

The objective is operational clarity: to build the capabilities required for growth without creating unnecessary organisational weight, while progressively retaining production knowledge, technical systems and supplier relationships within Lucaz.
