prado
Prado broke through with light + ventilation, a product that imperceptibly incorporates ventilation in lighting. Interior architects around the world are smitten with the unique combination of craft, aesthetics and high-tech. Founder Thibault Renson has a clear mission for Prado: “There is so much noise and visual pollution around us. We want to bring tranquillity and simplicity into the home.”
