Who Designs the Lighting You Love?

Behind every great light fixture is a designer. Many of the lighting brands we carry work with world-renowned designers and architects to create their collections. Explore the creative minds behind the light, or find more pieces from a designer whose work you already love.

Who Designs the Lighting for Each Brand?

Most lighting brands collaborate with several designers, each bringing a different style to the collection. Here are the designers behind some of our most popular brands:

1. Marc Sadler for Foscarini & Slamp: Marc Sadler is a French designer based in Italy, known for pioneering new materials and being a multiple winner of the Compasso d'Oro award. For Foscarini, he created the iconic Twiggy floor lamp. Sadler also designs for Slamp, a brand known for sculptural pendant lights and wall lights made from lightweight, translucent materials.

2. Patricia Urquiola for Foscarini and Flos: Patricia Urquiola is a Spanish designer based in Milan, known for her tactile style, full of texture and pattern. Her lighting for Foscarini and Flos shows how one designer can adapt to the character of different brands, from glamorous pendant lights to modern linear suspension lights.

3. Rodolfo Dordoni for Foscarini: Rodolfo Dordoni is an Italian architect and designer known for refined, understated shapes. His Lumiere collection for Foscarini includes wall lights, table lamps, and floor lamps, which makes it easy to coordinate lighting from room to room.

Can a Designer Work for More Than One Brand?

Yes, and it's quite common. Patricia Urquiola designs for Foscarini, Flos, and KDLN, and Marc Sadler designs for both Foscarini and Slamp. Each designer tailors their work to the brand's materials and character. Browsing by designer lets you see how the same creative approach shows up in different brands and helps you find fixtures with a similar feel.

How Do I Find Lights That Match?

If you've found a fixture you love, check whether the same designer has created other pieces in the collection. Many designers work in families of products, such as a pendant, a floor lamp, and a table lamp that share the same shape or finish. This makes it easy to coordinate lighting from room to room without everything looking identical. You can also scroll to the bottom of the product page for each product and look for "Shop the Collection" to find other lights from the same family. Feel free to Shop by Room as well to see how different fixtures work together in a dining room, bedroom, kitchen, or living room.

Are Designer Light Fixtures Worth the Investment?

Yes, lighting is one of the most visible parts of a room, and a well-designed fixture can define the whole space. Designer-led collections are made with thoughtful materials and construction, so they are timeless, high-quality, and meant to last.
