Lutz Pankow, a German industrial designer with a background in engineering, brings a distinctively scientific approach to lighting. Educated under the guidance of legendary figures such as Alberto Meda and Roger Tallon, Pankow has developed a design philosophy that champions the inherent beauty in functional, technical objects. His work often explores the balance between structure and aesthetics, focusing on clean lines and purposeful form. For Pankow, a well-designed object naturally evokes a sense of harmony and timelessness, making each piece as enduring in style as it is in construction.
Pankow’s collaboration with DCWéditions on the Munari collection exemplifies his commitment to innovative, modular lighting. Influenced by the playful and experimental spirit of Bruno Munari, the collection combines artistic expression with engineering precision, resulting in dynamic, sculptural chandeliers that adapt effortlessly to modern spaces. His designs are an invitation to explore and interact, imbuing interiors with an ambient, almost celestial quality that captures the imagination.
