AGO Lighting merges functionality with audacious design — the Korean brand launched at Maison&Objet in Paris in 2019 and creates remarkably playful and versatile wall lights, floor lamps and other fixtures intended to perk up as well as illuminate any space.
AGO was established by Woobok Lee and design director Mars Hwasung Yoo, a Stockholm-based industrial designer who established his own studio, BYMARS, in 2010. AGO is located in the Euljiro area of Seoul, Korea — this is an industrial center in Seoul where a vast range of print shops, modest factories and metal workshops have thrived since the 1970s despite the city’s rapid growth (the brand’s parent company has been manufacturing and distributing lighting products in the neighborhood for decades). The company’s name — derived from a Korean colloquialism for “old friends” — expresses the amicable relationship between the brand’s designers, its historic neighborhood and the veteran laborers who populate its workshops.
AGO partners with the skilled artisans of Euljiro to produce its range of venturesome lighting fixtures — popular items include those in its Cirkus collection, which features sculptural sconces and chandeliers made of aluminum and coated acrylonitrile butadiene styrene. When positioned above a dining table, these fixtures’ provocative curvaceous forms are likely to find their way into any mealtime conversation.
The brand regularly collaborates with international designers and studios such as BYMARS, BIG-GAME (Switzerland), JWDA, Sylvain Willenz, Studio Word, Sebastian Herkner and others.
