Light The Way You Want
Modular smart lighting panels that transform walls into dynamic art.
About Nanoleaf
Nanoleaf was founded in 2012 by three University of Toronto engineering graduates - Gimmy Chu, Tom Rodinger, and Christian Yan - who wanted to shake up the lighting industry. The company first gained attention with the world's most energy-efficient LED bulb but became famous for their geometric light panels that users arrange into custom designs. Nanoleaf Shapes (hexagons, triangles, mini triangles) and Lines create stunning wall art that syncs with music, movies, and games.
With Rhythm technology, panels react to sound in real-time. Thread support ensures rock-solid connectivity, and Screen Mirror syncs panels with your TV or monitor. Nanoleaf has offices in Toronto, Shenzhen, Paris, Hong Kong, and the Philippines.
