Nathan Orsman is a contemporary leader in both interior and exterior lighting design. His intuitive talents invoke the desire to approach spaces creatively while retaining their functionality. Australian born, Orsman’s proclivity for lighting and ability to nurture the clients’ expectations set the stage for an enchanting design process and a gratifying result.

“I employ dark against light, making sense of structure and the way by which it relates to their surrounds. I approach projects with an artistic eye but always with the understanding of their intent for day to day use.”

Orsman has designed for a diverse group of clients, completing residences in New York, Palm Beach, Los Angeles, Chicago, St. Barthelemy, London and Mexico City. He has also completed commercial projects including hotels in the Caribbean and Massachusetts, the ambassador’s residence in Dublin Ireland, a public library in Connecticut and has been featured in designer show houses in New York, Palm Beach and Los Angeles. His work has been featured in the the Wall Street Journal, New York Times, Galerie, Interior Design, and he has been seen on HGTV.
