Caine Heintzman is not interested in flashy. As co-founder of the contemporary lighting studio
A-N-D, he brings a quiet intensity to everything he designs. His lighting is sculptural, modular and deeply thought through. It doesn’t beg for attention, but once noticed, it’s hard to forget.

With a background in industrial design from Emily Carr University of Art and Design and Kunsthochschule Berlin Weissensee, Heintzman combines technical depth with a refined sense of form. Each design begins with something small: a shape spotted in an everyday object, a photo taken on the fly, a passing detail in architecture. From there, it’s an evolving process of sketching, modelling and refining that can take years.

Heintzman works fluidly between hand-built mockups and digital prototypes, with equal attention to the tactile and the technical. His lighting pieces are often modular, based on repeated forms and simple geometries, but never generic. There is a deliberate rhythm to them, calm, ordered and quietly expressive.

Heintzman’s designs are rooted in systems thinking. He considers how things connect, how they endure, and how they shape the spaces we live in. His lights are not loud statements. They are thoughtful interventions. Objects that work beautifully and continue to reveal their character over time.
