About Sonneman
Sonneman, founded in 2003, is a tribute to contemporary lighting design. Working in New York, Milan, and Tokyo, Sonneman has sold designs worldwide since 1967. In 1974, Robert founded Sonneman Design Group, building an extensive client base spanning many diverse industries. His designs have been exhibited internationally — as well as in the United States — in major museums, exhibitions, galleries, and shows for more than forty years.
What Sonneman Specializes In
The Sonneman lighting sensibility is clean and contemporary, yet with a big nod to design traditions past. The sleek, functionalist designs that made Robert Sonneman famous in the 1960s and '70s remain just as relevant today and continue to influence his work. As such, SONNEMAN combines classic elements--vintage bulbs, mid-century modern angles--with cutting-edge forms and technologies in his current line of contemporary lighting. SONNEMAN's sensibilities and prolific design vocabulary extend through the modern architectural and decorative genres of the 20th century and forward to the contemporary diversity of the 21st.
