Cerno

Cerno was founded in 2009 by Bret Englander, Nick Sheridan and Dan Wacholder, friends since childhood in Laguna Beach, California, who decided to design and build light fixtures in California instead of manufacturing overseas. The studio works in solid wood, brass and hand-formed metal, with a restrained modernist language and visible craft in the joints and finishes.

The output spans decorative pendants, chandeliers, sconces and table lamps as well as architectural lighting for larger interiors, all developed and assembled in-house, which allows short runs and custom sizes. Cerno also runs Revelite, a picture-light brand, and takes on custom fixtures for residential and hospitality projects.
