At Duncan McKean Designs, we deliver commercial and residential lighting projects, specialising in bespoke lighting, lamp repair, lighting restoration, custom installations, and handcrafted awards for clients across Whitstable, Kent, and beyond. Our growing portfolio includes work for the hospitality, leisure, and retail sectors, private homes, and prize-giving and awards events.

We also design and make custom awards and presentation pieces, creating meaningful, one-of-a-kind objects that celebrate achievement while reflecting your brand, event, or organisation.
Our design-to-install lighting service is centred around you. We take a friendly, collaborative, and hands-on approach, ensuring every project — from bespoke lamps to custom awards — is thoughtfully designed, carefully made, and beautifully finished.
To keep the process clear and enjoyable, our service follows four client-focused stages:
Initial Consultation – Discussing your space, ideas, lighting needs, or award requirements.
Design & Costing – Concept development, transparent pricing, and follow-up meetings if needed.
Fabrication – Expert making, restoration, and wiring in our Whitstable workshop.
Installation & Sign-Off – Professional installation or delivery, with final approval to ensure everything is perfect.
