Alexa Hampton

Designer Alexa Hampton is admired for her updated neoclassical approach; yet, with generous silhouettes and ravishing detail, her work never appears conservative. She brings her clean formalist perspective to high-style lighting, featuring architectural scale and bold patternwork.

Alexa Hampton is a graduate of Brown University. She did graduate work at New York University’s Institute of Fine Arts in Florence, Italy and in New York City. She cut her design teeth working with her late father, the legendary Mark Hampton, in the firm that he opened in 1976, both as an apprentice at a young age until later achieving the position of senior designer.
