Eco-Friendly Designs Made in the USA

Cerno's lighting designs incorporate exceptional craftsmanship and honest use of raw materials like metal and sustainably harvested black American walnut wood. Sustainability is one of the core tenets of their process. Their line of sconces, pendants and lamps exudes an appreciation for their craft and the details that comprise a well-executed product. Their modern and contemporary pieces are fresh, expressive, and inspired by the natural environment of their hometown, Laguna Beach.

Cerno also has a brand of high performing Art Lighting. Revelite launched a few years ago and emerged as the gold standard of wall and frame-mounted picture lighting. Revelite illuminates art evenly with high color rendering accuracy and achieves this in a clean, unobtrusive profile.

Since the company's inception, Cerno lighting prides itself on energy-efficient and eco-friendly pieces made in the USA. Designing and manufacturing all their products under one roof, in the United States, facilitates building products with cutting-edge technology and state-of-the-art manufacturing techniques. However, the production team also utilizes a handmade approach that pays homage to old-school makers. Cerno's vertical integration is inherently more efficient and results in high quality and fully resolved fixtures. Two fixtures that exemplify both a minimalist aesthetic and an unorthodox approach to design are the Tersus LED sconce and Mica LED pendant.

Pieces We Love

The Mica pendant is composed of handmade and eco-friendly materials. The ultramodern form is a cube-shaped pendant that makes a bold statement with its deconstructed look. The fixture adds visual interest thanks to its asymmetrical design that combines natural walnut wood panels at the top with an angular frosted polymer shade at the bottom. The unique design and quality embodied in this fixture is present across the line.

The Tersus wall sconce, on the other hand, is a beautiful example of simplicity and functionality. Its energy-efficient LED light source casts soft decorative illumination on the wall, providing a minimalist modern design. The light emitted from the Tersus, and all of their other fixtures is diffused to reduce direct glare. This versatile Cerno lighting style is offered in dark stained walnut, maple, oiled walnut wood finishes, or in new Carrara marble.

Both of these styles incorporate the core values of the company’s mission: promote creativity, innovation, and craftsmanship. It's important to note that many of Cerno's products use natural materials, which results in wood grain and stone that will not be identical, and each piece possessing a unique beauty.
