Paul Beale
Paul Beale is the Founding Director of 18 Degrees, a London-based lighting design consultancy focused on delivering sustainable, human-centred lighting for commercial buildings and public spaces. With a background spanning over two decades, Paul is known for pioneering approaches that combine design excellence with environmental responsibility.
In 2023, he launched 18 Circular, an initiative aimed at eliminating lighting waste in commercial fit-outs through reuse, remanufacture, and smarter procurement. The initiative is now gaining traction with major UK landlords and real estate partners as a scalable model for circularity in the built environment.
Prior to founding 18 Degrees, Paul established Electrolight, a globally recognised design practice with studios in Australia and the US. His portfolio includes award-winning work across Europe, the Middle East, and Asia-Pacific.
