A Bright New Chapter: HVLG Welcomes SONNEMAN to the Family

We’re thrilled to share that Hudson Valley Lighting Group has officially acquired SONNEMAN – A Way of Light, one of the most influential voices in contemporary lighting design. This isn't just an expansion of our family—it’s an expansion of our creative possibilities.

For those who already know and love SONNEMAN, welcome to the next chapter. For those just discovering them, you’re in for something special.

Meet SONNEMAN, A Way of Light

Founded in 2003, SONNEMAN—A Way of Light is a modern lighting atelier at the intersection of architectural and design innovation. Their minimalist, straightforward, and technically-driven designs are designed to radiate comfort for residential, hospitality, and commercial spaces. Their work has long stood at the intersection of innovation and aesthetics—and now, it’s available through HVLG.

Why We’re So Excited, and Why You Should Be Too

With this acquisition, HVLG is expanding into configurable, high-performance LED lighting—a category in high demand across both residential and commercial design applications. Whether you're designing a moody residential lounge or a sleek commercial lobby, SONNEMAN brings a new layer of sophistication and performance to the table.

It gives designers access to:

• A broader range of innovative lighting solutions
• More flexibility to address residential-commercial crossover projects
• A deeper, more diverse product assortment from a single trusted source

A Full-Circle Moment

This news also has a personal layer. Our Founder & CEO, David Littman, was previously involved with SONNEMAN as a co-owner until 2018. In many ways, this is a homecoming that brings renewed energy and shared vision into everything we do.

"SONNEMAN represents the best of what modern lighting can be—intelligent, artistic, and purposefully designed,” said David Littman, Founder & CEO of Hudson Valley Lighting Group. “Bringing this brand back into the HVLG family is both a strategic move and a personal milestone. It’s an opportunity to build on a legacy of innovation and to deliver even more value to our customers."

We believe great lighting changes everything, and with SONNEMAN now part of the HVLG portfolio, we’re better positioned than ever to offer you the innovation, flexibility, and design excellence you need to create beautiful, impactful spaces.
