Vode Lighting is a manufacturer of minimal architectural lighting systems that responsibly enhance public, commercial and educational interior spaces. We are located in beautiful Sonoma, California.

Our business is predicated on helping designers realize their vision for the built environment while being mindful of Earth’s environment. From these considerations, we engineer lighting solutions that are at once beautiful and practical, elegant and efficient.

Every aspect of building design is being challenged by energy initiatives, so we design products that consume fewer resources and are themselves highly recyclable.

We strive to maximize the good materials (aluminum) and eliminate the bad (lead, mercury, pvc, paint). As one company, the environmental impact of our products may be negligible, but the impact of our beliefs need not be. And because our aim is to unify spaces with light, not decorate them with fixtures, our lighting systems – be they ambient, display or task – are minimalist in design.

At Vode, minimalist design isn’t a slavish devotion to Cool. It is a direct and highly engineered response to the architectural marketplace. We’ve been asked for low-profile, high-performance, energy-efficient, scalable, durable luminaires.....And that’s what we make.

To date, Vode has been used in over 11,000 projects worldwide, including museums, corporate spaces, convention centers, retail, hotels and libraries. Our systems light hundreds of LEED-qualified buildings including the corporate headquarters of Amazon, Microsoft, Twitter, Autodesk, Genetech, and Square Inc., among others.
