About George Kovacs
George Kovacs, born in 1926 in Vienna, Austria, was a pioneering figure in modern lighting design.

He introduced innovative designs and materials, including the first American-made halogen torchiere. Kovacs was known for his collaborations with other prominent designers, such as Karim Rashid and Ingo Maurer. He retired in 2000, leaving behind a legacy of modern, stylish, and functional lighting fixtures that continue to be celebrated today.
Sonneman, founded by Robert Sonneman, has been at the forefront of contemporary lighting design since the 1960s.
