Aptly named The Portfolio, ILEX is collaborating with six established and emerging designers to create a sophisticated collection of architectural lighting, blending American craftsmanship with high-end design. With varied backgrounds in art, product design, architecture and interiors, each designer brings a unique vision to the line that will appeal to broad range of discerning lighting specifiers.
When ILEX was first created, as a subsidiary of the 65-year-old residential lighting brand Norwell, it was with a commitment to nurturing American design and production. This mission has guided the development of the brand’s extensive range of lighting solutions for commercial, hospitality and high-end residential projects for the past 15 years. Now ILEX will take the concept one step further with the introduction of The Portfolio, a collaborative partnership with six American designers: Michael Graves, Laura Kirar, Christopher Poehlmann, Mick Ricereto, Kevin Walz and Michael Wolk. Each designer will present a collection of lighting that reflects a distinct aesthetic and unique perspective on architectural lighting that will enrich any contract or residential setting.
