Press review
Lightinup in the press
Contract designers work on trust before they work on quotes. Here we collect where Lightinup has been written about and, since 2004, the work of its founders: always with source and date.
Graziano Costantino and Sergio Bevivino, the founders
Lightinup was founded by Graziano Costantino and Sergio Bevivino, who bring a long international entrepreneurial history in the lighting industry.
In the 1980s Sergio Bevivino handled the contract market for a Murano glassworks; since 2000 the two founders have worked bespoke for hospitality, and since 2004 hotels and trade magazines have written about their work.
In this trade, the person who signs the work matters: that is why their story is here, next to today's press.
From Murano glass to Lightinup, in four stages
Four moments, each one documented by the press collected on this page.

Lumina Forge is not a rendering gallery: it is the part of our work that delivers the files a piece is actually made from.
