Lunar? Telephone?

Why the heck would you call your company that?

We get this question a lot. And fair enough — “Lunar Telephone Company” sounds more like a fictional utility from a 1960s sci-fi novel than a creative studio that specializes in lighting, media, and immersive storytelling.

That’s kind of the point.

Let’s start with the “Lunar” part.

We’ve always looked up. To the moon, the stars, the International Space Station passing overhead. Our work is grounded in the real world, but our imagination drifts in low gravity. The moon is a metaphor - a symbol of curiosity, optimism, and the beautiful human instinct to explore. It’s a nod to the golden age of spaceflight, when engineers, designers, and dreamers teamed up to do the impossible (often in charmingly beige control rooms).

We admire that era’s retro-futurist aesthetic: the NASA “worm” logo, the punch-card computers, the silver jumpsuits. It was a time when technology felt magical and that imagery evokes nostalgia for BIG, ambitious endeavors.

Now, about that “Telephone”…

We know. Phones have changed a bit since rotary dials and switchboards. But there’s something delightful about the word — it evokes connection, communication, and a touch of elegant obsolescence. We liked the contrast of something antique and analog placed on something futuristic and celestial.

The idea of a “telephone company” on the moon is absurd, and we love that. But when you think about it, we actually are in the business of connecting people. Not through copper wires and static-filled calls - but through experiences, light, sound, and story. We help creatives and companies reach their audiences in ways that feel emotional, immersive, and unforgettable.

So, no, we’re not a real telephone company.

(Though if someone ever builds a switchboard on the Sea of Tranquility… call us.)

And no, we’re not located on the moon.

(Though we’re open to satellite offices.)

We’re a creative studio that offers design, direction, and technical expertise to projects that blur the line between architecture, live entertainment, and immersive storytelling. Theme parks, museums, public art, events, and beyond — we’re there to help spark wonder and build memorable experiences.

Lunar Telephone Company is a name that invites curiosity and breaks expectations. It sets the stage for something a little weird, a little wonderful, and very much on purpose. We aspire to tell stories, create memories, create art, connect people, participate in innovation.

So if you’re building something bold, bright, and beautifully unconventional - 📡 Let’s connect.
