Who we are
At Contacto Lamps, we believe creativity should be accessible to everyone—and as an employee-owned company, we’re committed to making that happen together. Founded by an electrical engineer from Mexico City and a social worker from St. Louis, Missouri, our mission is simple: to empower people to create. Our affordable STEM kits teach the fundamentals of science, technology, engineering, and math while helping you build something beautiful—lamps that light up your space and imagination.
As a team of employee-owners, we share a collective vision: giving everyone the tools and opportunities to design their own unique creations, at no extra cost. Whether you’re a beginner exploring circuits or a seasoned maker diving into your next project, our kits are crafted for all skill levels. With Contacto Lamps, you can build, customize, and take pride in your work—all while learning valuable skills.
We’re more than just a lamp company. We’re a bridge between art and science, tradition and innovation, education and creativity. And because we’re employee-owned, every team member plays a vital role in shaping our shared journey of transforming the ordinary into the extraordinary.
Welcome to Contacto Lamps—where your ideas come to light and every team member has a hand in making it happen.
