Cerno

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.

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.

What Kind of Lighting is Best Indoors?

The best indoor lighting will always depend on what the space needs and what your tastes prefer. Finding options that are able to spread light across a space without getting in the way of other furniture, and are designed with a creative touch to stand out in a tasteful way are two factors to always keep in mind. Cerno lights offer contemporary designs with a touch of mid-century sensibility. Options like the Camur linear pendant are simple yet striking, where the Muto LED pendant stuns onlookers with complex architecture. Think big with designs like the Valeo floor lamp that looms over a room with angular authority, and explore the rest of the Cerno collection to find the perfect choices for the rest of your rooms.

What Are the 3 Types of Lighting in Interior Design?

The three types of lighting in interior design are ambient lighting, task lighting, and accent lighting. Ambient lighting is used to fill a space with warmth, helping to contribute to the atmosphere without resting on a table or desk; many wall lights and ceiling lights fall into the ambient lighting category, and options like the Capio sconce from Cerno lights provide this type of mood. Task lighting involves your table and desk lamps, used throughout the day as a useful extra source of light for work, hobbies, or leisure activities. Lamps like the Levo reading light from Cerno provide this type of light, and can be turned on and off throughout the day depending on need. Lastly, accent lighting is used in halls and on walls as extra sources of light that don’t require their own space on a floor or desk. The Spero wall sconce from Cerno accomplishes this with a minimalist ease and striking gold body.
