R. Sonneman:
Robert Sonneman is an emblematic figure in contemporary lighting design, known for his visionary approach and innovations since the late 1960s. In 1967, he founded his first company, quickly propelling SONNEMAN – A Way of Light to the forefront of the lighting industry.
This company continues to explore the technical and formal possibilities of the light object, earning it numerous awards and international recognition, with works exhibited at MoMA in New York and the Contemporary Arts Museum in Houston.
Sonneman's commitment to modern ideals and his desire to merge technology, functionality, and art led him to work with materials such as chrome, stainless steel, and glass.
His creations are characterized by clean lines and innovative approaches, becoming classics of the modern era.
Sonneman draws inspiration from modern architecture and applies the functionalist discipline of the Bauhaus.
In the 1960s, he introduced a modernist aesthetic into lighting design, revolutionizing the industry by innovatively combining form and function.
This approach gave rise to contemporary and dramatic designs that define Sonneman.
