Since our founding in 2004, our mission has remained the same:
To inspire and connect the world with good design.
Since our founding in 2004, our mission has remained the same:
To inspire and connect the world with good design.
This quest has led us around the world to bring you the best in authentic modern design from over 400 global brands—and counting—many of which launched their online presence with Lumens.
Below, we reflect on our journey from pioneers of luxury online retail to becoming a world-renowned design destination. We’d also like to thank the many iconic brands and designers who’ve sent us celebratory notes to adorn our own modernist take on the birthday card, a Zettel’z Chandelier by Ingo Maurer.
Cheers to 20 Years,
Lumens
20 Years of
Italian Luxury
Lumens was first to bring many leading Italian luxury brands online to the North American market, most notably Flos and B&B Italia, among other iconic Italian brands.
Our sister brand and legendary Danish design house Louis Poulsen celebrates 150 years of being the “First House of Light” while fellow sister brand Audo Copenhagen has found new life from the natural evolution of Danish tradition.
A commitment to authenticity means that we have always carried the same original designs you’ll find in the permanent collections of museums like the MoMA, Triennale, Cooper Hewitt, and more.
Lumens pledged to stock entirely LED lighting well before the federal ban on incandescent light bulbs, effectively LED-ing the way into a new, more efficient future.
From sourcing renewable materials to fair trade practices and B-Corp certifications, Lumens carries the largest selection of sustainable lighting, furniture and décor.
Stickbulb continues to push the boundaries of designing light from wood—using sustainable practices like sourcing wood from renewable sources as well as using reclaimed redwood from decommissioned water towers in New York City.
Combining curiosity, material dynamics and collaboration, Nick Ozemba and Felicia Hung’s Brooklyn-based studio produces designs that fuse delicate metalwork, dazzling glass, and fine ceramics into pieces designed for life.
Inspired by beauty, poetry and action above all, Dutch designer Marcel Wanders stays inspired even after taking 2,000 designs to production and co-founding the Mooi brand.
