Grapevine Stories

Rohan Blacker's lightbulb moments! An interview with the founder of Pooky lighting and Schplendid.

I had a fascinating chat this week with Rohan Blacker — best known as the founder of Pooky Lighting— who’s now turning his creative energy to an exciting new company, Schplendid.

From lighting design to lifestyle innovation, Rowan shared the story behind his latest project and what drives him to keep creating.

I honestly don't think I have ever met someone so enthusiastic and engaging, yet so incredibly humble, it really was a treat to interview him.


Rohan has very kindly given all Grapevine members a 15% discount off all products on the Pooky website from now until Christmas Day. Please use code: GRAPEPOOKY15

Happy shopping to all!
