Sonneman Lighting was founded by Robert Sonneman in 1967, inspired by his work with George Kovacs and a lifelong passion for modernism. The brand became known for its iconic designs from the 1960s and 70s, which prioritized the "purity of line," simplicity, and functional beauty of modern design. Today, SONNEMAN—A Way of Light continues to produce innovative and elegant lighting, adapting to new technologies like LED while remaining rooted in its minimalist, modernist heritage.
