People
Toni Grilo
Designer
Designer and art director, Toni Grilo was born in France in 1979.
Graduated from Ecole Boulle in Paris in 2001, he then went to Portugal, finding his roots. He discovers a country rich in industry, a strong craft tradition and then becomes obsessed with the beauty of technical processes and materials.
After various collaborations, he founded in 2008 his own studio, drawing objects, furniture and spaces.
He creates several brands of contemporary and timeless design pieces, such as Riluc in 2009, Haymann Editions in 2012, Blackcork in 2014. He also created the fair LXD Lisboa Design Show and became art director of the prestigious centenary silver brand Topázio from 2013 to 2016.
In 2019, he founded INOT, a free edition of exceptional pieces in collaboration with craftmen.
His work is part of private collections, such as the Thierry Barbier-Mueller collection. It is present in museums such as the MUDE in Lisbon, the MADE in Évora, the Museo Automovilístico de Málaga, the MUDAC in Lausanne and the Mobilier National in Paris.
Each piece is shaped by hand, guided by silence, defined by precision, refined by time.
ABOUT LUM
We believe that every revolution begins in memory.
In a world driven by speed and constant replacement, LUM was created with a different ambition: to design objects that endure. Objects that become part of people’s lives, gather stories over time, and are passed from one generation to the next.
Our collections are rooted in the value of craftsmanship and in the preservation of Portugal’s rich tradition of making. Each piece is created through the expertise of skilled artisans who transform raw materials into objects of lasting meaning. Mouth-blown glass, solid wood, metal and stone are shaped by hand, carrying within them the character, knowledge and dedication of those who create them.
For us, light is more than illumination. It is presence. It reveals spaces, creates atmosphere and becomes part of the memories we build around the people and places we cherish.
LUM exists to celebrate the beauty of making, the dignity of craftsmanship and the belief that the most meaningful objects are those that remain with us through time.
We do not create lighting for a season. We create objects for a lifetime - and, hopefully, for the generations that follow.
Crafted by hand. Designed to be remembered.
