Our Story
50+ Years of Lighting Manufacturing
Fifty Years of Making
Reimagined for Today's Buyer
Doua Design did not start from scratch. It started from something rare in manufacturing: genuine accumulated expertise. The knowledge, supplier relationships, and production capabilities that built Coronet Lighting over decades form the foundation of everything Doua does today.
What changed is the approach. Where Coronet served its era, Doua was built to serve the buyer that era created — one who needs more customization, faster delivery, clearer communication, and a manufacturing partner who treats their project with the same seriousness they do.
Where It Started:
Coronet Lighting
What Coronet built was not just a manufacturing operation. It was a body of knowledge — about materials, about scale production, about what makes a lighting fixture hold up over years of real-world use. That knowledge does not go away when a company evolves. It compounds.
Why Doua, Why Now.
The Lighting industry has changed.
Buyers are more design-sophisticated, more schedule-constrained, and more skeptical of overseas supply chains than at any point in recent memory. The tariff environment has made overseas-first manufacturing a genuine business risk, not just a logistical inconvenience.
Doua Design
was built to meet that moment.
The same manufacturing expertise and supplier depth that made Coronet strong, applied to a model built for today's buyer: diversified manufacturing, in-house design capability, and a service standard that treats communication and accountability as core product features, not nice-to-haves.
Craft Is Not Optional
The quality of a fixture is determined in the design and manufacturing process, not inspected in at the end. We build craft into the process, not just the product.
Custom Means Custom
Starting from a catalog and modifying is not custom. Custom means your brief and vision is the starting point and the finished fixture is the proof. That's totally custom, and that's what we do.
Accountability is a Service
Being reachable, communicating proactively, and standing behind what we make are not extras. They're the baseline of what working with a manufacturer should feel like.
