Cerno

The Cerno Story

Founded in 2009 by a trio of lifelong friends—Nick Sheridan, Bret Englander, and Dan Wacholder—Cerno emerged from the idyllic surroundings of Laguna Beach, a place that fostered their creativity and passion for design. From their early endeavors in boat building to the establishment of Cerno, their journey was driven by a shared commitment to create beautiful, lasting creations. Today, Cerno is renowned for its innovative LED lighting fixtures and furniture that embody craftsmanship, sustainability, and original design, all made in America under one roof in California.
