The Moments That Defined Lumens
2023 was another big year for Lumens, filled with innovation and engagement in the lighting and design world. Sustainability and collaboration became central themes of the year, as we reconnected with designers here in California, over in New York City and around the world. Together, we highlighted environmentally conscious design strategies and materials while learning more about the ins- and outs- that make great design perpetually compelling—directly from the brightest minds in design like Piero Lissoni, Marcel Wanders, Colin King and more.
From embracing LEDs to amplifying previously unheard voices and even following our favorite designers for a day, these are our top moments of 2023.
