Over the years, much has been written about the profound relationship between light and architecture. This new company offers a unique glimpse into the journey of architect Jan Van Lierde, whose diverse experiences culminated in the founding of Black54. His career spans decades of architectural practice, product development, lighting consultancy, and a world of travels and inspiring encounters.
From his backpack full of material, a distillate has now emerged that follows a new path—not only in the vision of light as a product, but also in the way communication and distribution have been conceived. It is a walk through a life filled with passion for light and architecture.
A respectful company is built on partnerships—partners in research, production, and, importantly, marketing and sales.
Black54 has a strategic approach to carry forward over the next three years, fostering long-term relationships and developing new concepts and products.
We aim to create meaningful relationships, enjoying every part of our process while building a community that feels like a private club, with members and special guests exploring our world of design and technology.
