We are so excited to share this episode of Klein Sake, Groot Drome that tells the story behind Litehouse. (For our global audience that means Small Business, Big Dreams ✨)
Litehouse all began by a team based in Cape Town, South Africa, co-founded in 2020 by brothers Kevan and Mike Van der Velde 🇿🇦 It began as a passion project for quality outdoor lighting and has grown into an outdoor ambience brand with one simple mission: to create spaces where people want to gather, connect and stay a little longer.
Real connection matters more than ever. Creating spaces where friends, family and even strangers want to gather is what drives everything we make. From solar lighting to infrared heating, every product is designed to set the mood, keep the conversation flowing and help the night stretch on, because when the atmosphere is right, people linger longer. ✨
Today, our solar range is selling globally and we get to light up gardens, patios and homes around the world 🌍 One day we’ll get our infrared heaters selling globally too! Being part of thousands of homes, and the moments that happen in them, is something we’ll never take for granted.
We’re still a small team with big dreams. We keep refining and innovating everything we make, and there’s plenty exciting launches coming soon. Sign up to our mailers to be the first to know! 🤩
Thank you to Klein Sake, Groot Drome for having us and letting us share our story.
Here’s to innovating the future of ambience & helping you create better, brighter moments with Litehouse ✨
