Lodes designs and manufactures lighting solutions for both indoor and outdoor spaces.
We design and manufacture light sources that enhance the quality of living for those who choose them in any environment and situation. We seek a balance between form and functionality to elevate every space with a distinctive decorative touch, without compromising on design or utility.
Founded in 1950, Lodes narrates an evolutionary journey through three generations, from a pure passion for light to contemporary creations that seamlessly blend design and technological innovation.
Our products are designed for optimal enjoyment of living spaces, emphasising ease of installation, immediate interaction, and energy efficiency. Lodes ensures quality throughout the supply chain, from material selection to production techniques, deliveries, and post-sales service.
The company’s transformation includes a significant rebranding initiative initiated in 2020. This cultural shift, stemming from the aspiration to explore new avenues and the commitment to continual learning from light, centres on research, design, and innovation to develop progressively versatile and innovative lighting solutions. Today, Lodes stands as one of Europe’s foremost manufacturers of decorative lighting, operating in over 90 global markets.

The principles that guide us in every choice.
We are Italian, deeply connected to the Venetian territory and our family and cultural roots. Lodes promotes the culture of beauty and well-crafted excellence, with attention to detail through contemporary forms and functions.
Our choice materials are glass and metal, carefully shaped and crafted to meet the specific requirements of each project. Craftsmanship represents the expertise accumulated through years of direct experience. The choice of using different materials and processing techniques that combine innovation and skills acquired over time allows Lodes to create enduring and meaningful lighting solutions.
Curiosity is the foundation of our work because only those who never stop learning refine the ability to innovate. In a path of continuous evolution and learning, Lodes becomes the meeting point between design and technical expertise to create unique light narratives that never cease to amaze.
Relationships form the core of our universe, encompassing encounters, sharing, and the development of meaningful connections. Whether it’s the bonds with our partners and collaborators, the links forged between our products and people, or the interaction of lamps with environments, illuminating spaces with light, Lodes fosters a spirit of exchange and enduring relationships.
Lodes enables the development of functional and decorative solutions, providing infinite customisation possibilities by combining lamps and canopies.
Lodes enables the development of functional and decorative solutions, providing infinite customisation possibilities by combining lamps and canopies. This great flexibility gives rise to the concept of ‘Standard Bespoke’, a collection with universal character capable of addressing the unique requirements of each space through the creation of distinctive and meaningful compositions, tailored to individual preferences.
‘Out of Scale’ takes the idea of ‘Standard Bespoke’ to the pinnacle of customisation and expressive freedom. Light compositions evolve into bespoke solutions for any space: the flexibility provided by the combinations of lamps and canopies allows for an infinite array of applications and fully personalised solutions. Through the development of innovative configurations in terms of shapes and sizes, Lodes can cater to the requirements of any space and creative project, adorning each environment with a luminous scenography that truly stands out.
Lodes pioneers luminous innovation through its LED technology, meticulously crafting both mains voltage and low voltage LED modules to deliver light quality comparable to halogen bulbs. The efficiency inherent in our LED light sources leads to energy savings, extended lifespans, and reduced maintenance and replacement costs compared to traditional light sources.
We design LED light sources with a CRI (Colour Rendering Index) of 90 or higher to authentically reproduce the natural colours of objects. The CRI quantifies a light source’s ability to faithfully render colours.
Our LEDs are engineered to fill spaces with a warm and emotionally resonant glow, ranging between 2700 K and 3000 K on the light colour temperature scale, measured in Kelvin degrees. This scale corresponds to the hue emitted by the light source.
All our LED sources ensure the same high-quality light colour. This uniformity allows different lamps to be seamlessly combined in a single room, with colour variations falling within the 3-step MacAdam ellipse, and therefore imperceptible to the human eye.
