Cerno
Handcrafted modernism — California-made design lighting.
The Position
Founded in Aliso Viejo, CA by three friends who love materials and light, Cerno crafts modern lighting with California soul — wood, metal, and fabric in sculptural pendant, wall, and table forms. Their pieces bridge architecture and furniture, providing the statement focal moments that complete a room when DMF and Lucetta build the ambient layer.
