Blending technology with craftsmanship
From the beginning, Lumio set out to improve how we live. Our creations combine forward-thinking technology with time-honored craftsmanship. Through touch, sound, sight or scent, our creations engage your senses and leave you feeling more…human.
A more human technology
Lumio exists to evoke a warmth too often absent from contemporary technology.
We create magical objects that push back against the over-stimulated and rushed world we live in — carefully made creations that spark delight, re-engage the senses and remind us what it means to be human.
Founder
Founded by Max Gunawan in 2012, Lumio started in a tiny workshop in San Francisco. Becoming an entrepreneur was a happy accident. At the beginning, Lumio was created simply out of his desire to create an object that was beautiful and surprising, something functional and…joyful.
That project grew into an award-winning bestseller, sold in more than 200 retailers across 30-plus countries. Lumio has been featured prominently in the New York Times and countless design publications, as well as New York’s Museum of Modern Art. It has won numerous awards, from Red Dot's “Best of the Best," Cannes Lions to Good Design Awards.
