Lutz Pankow

Lutz Pankow (b. 1968) was raised in South America as the son of an aeronautical technician, which provided the spark for his interest in engineering and design. After graduating from the Academy of Fine Arts in Saarbruecken, Germany, Pankow worked under Alberto Meda and Roger Tallon before starting his own Hamburg-based practice in 2006. Pankow's designs are guided by the axiom that well-designed technical objects evoke natural beauty, which is evident in the meticulous ergonomics of his lighting designs.
