About George Kovacs
George Kovacs, born in 1926 in Vienna, Austria, was a pioneering figure in modern lighting design. After moving to the United States, Kovacs opened a small lighting store in Manhattan in 1954, which eventually grew into a major influence in the lighting industry. 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. Known for their sleek, modern aesthetic and innovative use of materials, Sonneman's designs often feature clean lines and geometric forms. The company has a long-standing reputation for quality and creativity, producing a wide range of lighting solutions that blend functionality with artistic expression. Robert Sonneman's commitment to design excellence has made Sonneman a leading name in the lighting industry, recognized for its contributions to modern interior design.
