WEWORK COWORKING

The lights work at WeWork, even when they’re off.
Decorative lighting in the form of Verner Panton’s FlowerPot pendant lamps, produced by Danish brand &Tradition and supplied by Ameico, in-situ at the Midtown East co-working space in Manhattan.

‘Begin as you mean to go on’ could easily be Kahane’s slogan, having started by distributing luminaires from celebrated design grandee Michele de Lucchi’s Produzione Privata. ‘Lighting for me is about beauty as much as functionality,’ says Kahane. ‘Beautiful objects that happen to have a bulb in them, that help to shape space.’

A raft of impressive reference projects across a range of contract settings – where Ameico has supplied both product and know-how – testify to this, among them libraries at Princeton and Columbia Universities and over a dozen WeWork coworking spaces.
