Lumiere is a family owned business specialized in the manufacturing of handcrafted wooden urns of the highest quality. As woodworkers, we do our part to support responsible sustainable forestry practices by steering clear from endangered species and purchasing only certified woods from "well-managed" forests in which the long-term health of the total forest ecosystem is emphasized.

Lumiere is committed to quality and service is the key to the company's success. We use fine woods from the Bolivian Amazon for our products. We do our utmost to provide a quality urns at the most affordable price. There are application techniques to minimize the harmful environmental effects of solvent-based finishes but these add cost and complexity to the finishing process. An alternative approach employed by Lumiere is to use non solvent-based finishes or finishes with low solvent content. This category includes finishes made from plant oils and waxes, insect secretions, earth and mineral pigments, and other natural materials. It also includes various types of water-based finishes.
