Studio Luminosa™ is deeply rooted in the enchanting town of San Miguel de Allende, Mexico, a traditional colonial town where Mexican traditions are still celebrated to this day. Over 500 years old, this charming town has become the nurturing ground for the creative and passionate individuals behind Studio Luminosa™. 

The heart and soul of Studio Luminosa™ lie in its commitment to local craftsmanship. Dedicated to making it a community project, Baskett assembled a team of talented local designers and artisans, who work with an array of sustainable materials, including molten glass, hand-beaten recycled copper, and cast ceramics, to create these lighting fixtures.

Drawing inspiration from the region’s rich natural surroundings, Studio Luminosa™’s hand-crafted pieces exude a warmth and authenticity that is hard to find elsewhere. With a nod to the local flora and fauna of San Miguel de Allende, their lighting collection delivers a sense of familiarity and uniqueness that can transform any space. 

Studio Luminosa™ offers a wide range of different design possibilities in a plethora of materials, models, shapes, colors, and finishes, making it a great collection for commercial, retail, and hospitality spaces. 

Furthermore, every piece of Studio Luminosa™ lighting is designed to complement others, allowing for a seamless integration into any space. The affordability of these lighting fixtures is a bonus, making it accessible to a wide range of consumers looking for high-quality, handmade lighting for contemporary interiors. 

One of Studio Luminosa™’s standout creations is the Rustica series, which draws inspiration from the traditional antique-style bubbly glass found throughout Mexico. Hand-blown in signature colors like blue, transparent, turquoise, red, and olive, the Rustica series is a harmonious blend of the familiar and the modern. 

With a clean form, strong lines, and abundant light and warmth, the copper range (Horizon, Belle, Pipa, Cocoon) architectural pendant lamps matches the exquisite qualities of hand-beaten copper with the functionality of residential and hospitality lighting. These contemporary architectural pendant lamps ooze warmth and charisma and will sit comfortably over a kitchen island, dining room, bar, or restaurant table. Geometrica is guaranteed to make a striking statement to any interior.

For custom projects, Baskett and his team collaborate directly with architects and interior designers to oversee every step of the development process, from initial consultancy and concept to design, prototyping, manufacturing, and logistics. This hands-on approach ensures that each piece of Studio Luminosa™ lighting remains true to its roots and meets the standards of the client. 

The story of Studio Luminosa™ is incomplete without understanding the man behind the brand. Jonathan Baskett‘s journey to creating Studio Luminosa™ is nothing short of inspiring. In 2009, he received an invitation to Mexico City to collaborate with a factory on various lighting projects involving glass. This was a transformative experience and it was during this trip that he saw the potential to bring a piece of Mexico’s cultural heritage to the world.

In 2013, he returned to Mexico, but this time with a purpose. Armed with a deep appreciation for the beauty of Mexican traditions, Jonathan Baskett embarked on the remarkable journey of creating Studio Luminosa™. His vision was to create a brand that not only showcased the magnificence of Mexican craftsmanship but also celebrated sustainable and ethical practices.

Today, in the heart of San Miguel de Allende, Jonathan and his team work tirelessly towards ethical production and the preservation of Mexican heritage. With every light fixture they create, Studio Luminosa™ illuminates the path to one that values tradition and the enduring beauty of Mexican heritage.
