At Keylight, we collaborate with passionate experts who take lighting to the next level. Recently, we spoke with Charis from Ioannidis Lighting, Cyprus. They are a family business and a leading company in architectural and decorative lighting. Since 2004, they have been creating unique lighting concepts that perfectly combine aesthetics and functionality. We had a conversation with Charis, a second-generation member of the family. Charis studied lighting design at the Politecnico di Milano. We spoke about trends, challenges, and why they chose to work with Keylight.
