When you choose a NOVA luminaire, you're investing in an original design crafted with meticulous attention to detail.

Our process begins with identifying a specific need, followed by creating an array of concept sketches. After thorough exploration, we select the perfect design and move on to drafting construction drawings and crafting prototypes. Each piece is mindfully developed not only as a sculptural element in a room but also as an optimal source of light for relaxation, entertaining, reading, or watching a great film.

For nearly 100 years, NOVA’s design team has been dedicated to crafting the most exquisite and functional modern lighting on the market. Many of our designs from the 1960s and 70s continue to be celebrated as iconic mid-century modern classics.

We cordially invite you to explore the world of NOVA.
