Brands We Love: Lighting by Cerno


“It’s this visceral sense of accomplishment that inspires us to continue designing and building things.”

The team behind Cerno finds their inspiration in many places: the broad artistic culture of their Laguna Beach childhoods, the power of human creativity, the collaboration, the end product, and, most importantly, the process of producing a physical manifestation of what once was an abstract idea. Cernos’s lighting collection is born from all of this and takes shape around the vision of the company’s three co-founders. Fresh and modern, Cerno lighting doesn’t shy away from innovations, a spark of science, abstract shapes, and aesthetics designed to set the mood and elevate daily life.

 

Cerno & Bios

The relationship established between Bios and Cerno is the culmination of years of interest on Cerno’s part and years of technological development for Bios. A leader in the field of Circadian LED technology, Bios has allowed Cerno to transform their lighting designs from functional art to signature, science-based lighting revelations that create a natural rhythm both within the home and in the user’s mind and body.


Through the Bios technology, the Valeo LED Floor Lamp is so much more than its mid-century angles, extending arm, and delicately suspended shade; it’s a biological regulator that provides adaptive lighting to guide the user through their day.


Intoxicating Light Design
Embodying the motto “where there’s a will there’s a way,” Cerno’s designers, engineers, and craftsman engage in an intoxicating creative process, paying homage to their past by instilling their values into each and every piece. They are able to build, create, experiment, and then take pride in the finished product and the knowledge that it serves a purpose.


Using clean, geometric elements, artistic balance, and sculptural composition, Cerno creates an aesthetic and lighting experience that brings out the best of a space and builds an honest connection to the environment.


Cerno Pieces for Every Room


Camur LED Linear Pendant
The subtle shape of the Camur LED Linear Pendant does not detract from its distinctive personality and refreshing presence. Balancing industrial aesthetics with solid wood construction, the Camur Linear Pendant is perfect for hallways, dining rooms, offices, or living rooms.


Fortis Sconce
Aluminum or brass, Carrara marble or artisan glass, and stained or natural walnut are expertly combined in the harmonious and moody Fortis Sconce. A contemporary take on the antique wall sconce, the Fortis Sconce disperses the light by reflecting off the glass or marble lens, creating an ethereal glow.


Fons Floor Lamp
Maximizing the cantilever and extended arm features, the Fons Floor Lamp introduced a weightless aesthetic to the Valeo LED Floor Lamp construction. The reach and paired down industrial form of the Fons Floor Lamp makes it the perfect addition to large sitting rooms, offices, and more.
