MORE THAN WOOD. LIGHT. EMOTION. OUR LIGHTING PANELS JUST WON THE A’DESIGN AWARD

We’re thrilled to announce that our newest creation – Lighting Panels – has been awarded the Silver A’Design Award in the Luxury Design category.

Yes, just a few months after launch, this bold idea has been recognized on the global stage. But what truly excites us isn’t the trophy. It’s how this product is already changing the way designers think about walls – and how clients feel in the spaces they create.

To everyone who believed in this idea: thank you.

To our team. Our partners. The architects who took a risk. And the designers who knew a wall could be more.

In this post, we’ll take you through the story behind Lighting Panels – from the inspiration and innovation, to how it’s already transforming real interiors.

Let’s start with the most important question:

Why did we create lighting panels?

Every great interior tells a story. And every story needs a strong beginning.

For us, that beginning is the wall – a surface full of potential, waiting to come to life. What it does need is something that helps people feel. Something that creates a warm and inviting atmosphere, that can change the mood of a room with one small gesture.

We created Lighting Panels because we saw a missing piece in interior design. Architects and designers had beautiful materials and smart lighting systems – but nothing that combined both into a single, seamless element.

We also knew how often architects face the challenge of bringing something fresh into a space without compromising harmony or function. Many of them told us:

“We’re looking for solutions that make a statement – but don’t dominate.”

Lighting Panels were created exactly with that in mind.

To support designers in crafting interiors that feel curated, atmospheric, and original – with just one element that solves multiple needs: aesthetic appeal, indirect lighting, acoustic comfort, and emotional depth.

We’ve always believed that walls are not just a background. They’re the beginning of the story. They set the tone of a project and shape how people feel in a space. We wanted to give designers a tool that could illuminate that story – literally.

So we combined two worlds we love: wood and light. The natural texture of 3D wood panels with soft, integrated LED strips, adjustable in both brightness levels and color temperature.

The result? A wall that doesn’t just look good – it feels good.

“It’s the first time my client called the wall a piece of art, not just a wall.” Anna D., interior architect

Lighting Panels aren’t about decoration. They’re about expression. About letting every project carry its own atmosphere – from cozy and calm, to bold and theatrical.

Want to see how we combined wood and LED lighting to create something unique?

How we did it?

We started with our signature 3D wood wall panels, already loved by many designers for their depth and tactile quality. But we wanted to push further – to create something new, something layered.

So we embedded stylish LED lights directly into the structure. These aren’t surface-mounted extras or backlighting gimmicks. The light flows along the grooves, edges, and rhythms of the wood. It follows the form. It interacts with the surface.

All models from our collection can be additionally lit – the indirect lighting creates beautiful, moody shadows and enhances the geometry of each panel. It’s more than illumination – it’s an experience.

And it’s all adjustable – light intensity, color warmth, and remote control options. No complex systems. No visible cables. Just plug it into the power supply, choose your vibe, and let the space shine.

And let’s not forget the practical side. The panels are pre-fitted with lighting components and are easy to install, saving precious time on-site. No custom carpentry. No lighting consultant required.

You design. We provide. Your wall transforms.

The result – wood paneling with LED strips

What happens when acoustics, lighting, and woodwork come together?

You get something that’s both technically smart and emotionally powerful. A panel that performs – and surprises. That blends effortlessly with furniture or becomes the star of the room.

Even though it’s new, Lighting Panels are already making their way into homes, hotels, and commercial interiors. And the feedback? Nothing short of fantastic.

And the international jury of A’Design Award agreed.

They awarded us the Silver Prize in Luxury Design, recognizing innovation, aesthetic appeal, and sustainable, environmentally friendly thinking.

About the award

The A’Design Award & Competition is one of the world’s largest, most respected international design contests – a benchmark for excellence in design, architecture, and innovation.

Every year, thousands of entries from over 100 countries are evaluated by an independent jury of over 200 experts – including academics, prominent press members, and experienced professionals from the fields of architecture, interior design, product development, and engineering.

But what makes the A’Design Award truly special is what it celebrates:

  • Designs that are not only beautiful and functional, but also emotionally engaging, sustainable, and transformative.

  • Designs that elevate the way we live, work, and feel in the spaces around us.

Winning Silver in the Luxury Design category is more than just a trophy – it’s a powerful validation of our vision:

Those walls can do more. That wood can speak. That light can stir emotion.

And that when all three come together, the result is something truly exceptional.

For us, this award confirms that creating emotionally intelligent products – blending function, form, and feeling – is the right path. Want to take a closer look at our A’Design Award?
