Founded in 2016, EST Lighting is a partnership between Sevan Mirzaian, Ted Smyth and James Zagari, who had collaborated for many years before starting the business. The trio saw an opportunity to use their collective expertise to bring high-end lighting brands to Australia, making these sought after products more accessible. Est now represents a collection of ten carefully selected brands, which are on display in their showrooms in Sydney and Melbourne.

Together with leading architects, interior designers and lighting designers, Est has illuminated some of Australia's most impressive restaurants, bars, offices, retail spaces and private homes.
