Officially on September 20, and throughout the month, Lumens celebrates two decades as a champion of iconic design. Since its inception in 2004, Lumens has become the reference for luxury design and, with their team of expert curators, has helped build the presence of notable as well as up and coming brands, products, and designers, bringing many European heritage brands such as Flos, B&B Italia, Louis Poulsen and Audo Copenhagen to the North American market with an early online presence.
On September 20, at 1 p.m Eastern Time (10 a.m. Pacific), those near and far will have the opportunity to take part in a @lumensdotcom Instagram LIVE party, co-hosted by Lumens and Jill Singer, Co-Founder and Editor in Chief, Sight Unseen. Throughout the event, viewers will hear first from Lee Broom, mastermind behind the eponymous brand, and Amelie Du Passage, the playful, sometimes unorthodox visionary of Petite Friture. They will be followed by what is certain to be a lively conversation with John Edelman, President & CEO at Heller, and Bret Englander, one of the three boyhood friends who co-founded Cerno Group. Along the way, many iconic designers & design luminaries will be popping in to say hello to share their best wishes.
“As we commemorate 20 years in the industry, it’s inspiring to reflect on our transformation from a local showroom in Northern California to North America’s online leader in design lighting and furnishings,” shares Laura Walsh, CEO. “This milestone is a celebration of the creativity, innovation, and integrity that have defined our journey. The cornerstone of our success has been staying true to our purpose: to inspire and connect the world with good design. I’m immensely proud of our team’s dedication and the strong relationships we’ve built with our customers, and I’m excited for the future as we continue to shape and elevate the world of design.”
In recognition of this milestone, supporters of Lumens, including iconic brands, media, and members of the A+D community, created a collaborative work of art with personalized sketches, notes and illustrations, all united and displayed together on Ingo Maurer Zettel’z chandelier. Each of its 80 sheets of Japanese paper feature the personalized creations from designers, partners and friends of the brand, all clipped to the chandelier as thoughtful mementos of two decades of creative collaboration.
