Lightly has been producing considered and functional products inspired by a sense of adventure and resourcefulness since 2005.
Lightly’s vision is to lead by example in the global design market by enriching the lives of their customers through utilitarian design and considered artisanal production. By growing their relationships and community, they make Australian design accessible and build a family of like-minded souls.
Enduring design, functionality and a sense of resourcefulness have always been a part of their design approach. Woven seamlessly together with intelligent use of colour and form, Lightly’s design etiquette is grounded in classic design.
Kinship has been at the heart of Lightly creations since 2005. Lightly was born out of Cindy-Lee’s relationship with her grandmother Rosemary Lightly and continues to be shaped by the community of like-minded customers, community and artisanal makers who ensure quality and ethical production.
Over the years Lightly has built international relationships in the architecture, hospitality and design community through shared values of considered living, innovation and timeless design. Welcome to their journey!

The area along the Yarra Yarra Biodiversity Corridor – WA was once vibrant with expansive woodlands of York gum and Salmon gum trees. Now, parts of the landscape are not suitable for traditional agriculture due to problem soils that are increasingly uneconomic to farm in a drying climate.
The Plant-A-Tree Program is part of a plan to eventually link small patches of remaining vegetation and 12 nature reserves to create a green corridor. The Biodiversity Corridor will be a 200km stretch of trees and other plant life, reconnecting coastal and drier inland habitats in Three Springs Western Australia, Perenjori and Morawa.
The area along the Yarra Yarra Biodiversity Corridor – WA was once vibrant with expansive woodlands of York gum and Salmon gum trees. But from the early 1900s Europeans have cleared more than 97% of the vegetation so they could farm. Now, parts of the landscape are not suitable for traditional agriculture due to problem soils that are increasingly uneconomic to farm in a drying climate.

Their trees and shrubs are thriving and we’re helping re-invigorate local communities. Re-vegetation work supports local businesses and employs local people, including workers from Aboriginal communities. Activities such as sandalwood production and beekeeping are being developed to complement the planting and there are plans for bush tucker and eco-cultural tourism industries.
In 2014, in just two weeks of wildlife survey monitoring more than 450 species of flora, insects and birds were identified. This included 13 bird species of conservation significance as well as threatened species such as Malleefowl, Bush Stone-curlew, Carnaby’s Black-Cockatoo, Western Spiny-tailed Skink and the Woylie (Brush-tailed Bettong), as well as 30 species of conservation-significant native plants.
Carbon Neutral is Australia’s largest bio-diverse reforestation ‘carbon sink’ developer and manager. Since 2008, we have established 13,000 ha on mostly unproductive and degraded farmlands. Much of these plantings are for carbon credits under the prestigious international Gold Standard certification.
Over 440,000 trees have been planted so far. Image Credit: Lightly
