Lumens Logo

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
