Surrounded by blocks of marble, onyx, and travertine, Maude Rondeau, founder of Luminaire Authentik, felt the silent strength of raw material. In the heart of this mineral landscape, the idea for STONE was born—a collection that honours the innate beauty of natural stones, allowing their shades, veins, and imperfections to speak for themselves.
The collection features wall sconces, pendants, and ceiling lights, offered in six distinct stone hues.
A journey into the heart of craftsmanship
To bring this vision to life, Maude gathered her artistic director and videographer for a journey to Mexico. Together, they captured every stage of the process: the artisan’s precise gestures, the dust suspended in sunlight, the rhythm of polishing. It’s an authentic immersion into traditional craftsmanship—where hand and tool refine what nature has already shaped.
Minimalist design in service of the material
The STONE collection stands out for its pure, refined forms, created to showcase the raw material rather than alter it. Each piece is unique, carrying a millennia-old story, and made to last far beyond passing trends.
“With STONE, we’re not just making light fixtures," expresses Maude Rondeau, Founder and Creative Director, Luminaire Authentik. "We’re telling the story of the meeting between light and matter, between authenticity and design.”
An extension of the Luminaire Authentik family
In keeping with its philosophy, Luminaire Authentik views STONE as a new branch on its creative tree—a natural extension of its team, its collaborations, and its dedication to artisanal creation.
