In 2025, lighting will go far beyond functionality: it’s becoming increasingly experiential, flexible, and integrated into its surroundings, whether indoor or outdoor. Light becomes emotion, decor element, and technical tool all at once. Here are the key trends we are observing — and embracing — in the lighting world.
Warm tones and “soft tech” lighting
Cool white is giving way to warm, welcoming tones, with color temperatures between 2200K and 3000K. This shift reflects a growing demand for visual and sensory comfort, especially in residential and hospitality spaces. In outdoor lighting, new technologies now allow for warm hues even with high-performance luminaires, without compromising efficiency or durability.
Modularity and personalization
More and more projects require flexible solutions that adapt to varied geometries and usage contexts. A modular approach allows designers to freely compose lighting systems — linear or geometric, functional or decorative. Our collections already offer this, with integrable modules, coordinated accessories, and customizable finishes.
Multifunctionality: light, architecture, technology
A recessed spotlight can now do much more than just illuminate: it can be integrated into smart systems, function as a presence sensor, or contribute to the architectural identity of a space. Light merges with structure, and many products are now designed for multiple uses: adjustable, dimmable, wall- or ceiling-mounted, indoor or outdoor.
A technical yet warm aesthetic
Designers today face the challenge of combining formal rigor with emotional impact. Shapes remain minimal, often geometric or inspired by rational architecture, but materials and finishes add warmth and personality: satin metals, matte paints, natural textures.
How Lombardo responds
The trends of 2025 are not abstract ideas to us — they are already happening.
We design modular systems, offer selectable color temperatures, and develop smart, durable products tailored to complex environments. We are ready to work with architects, lighting designers, and installers to turn every vision into a concrete, long-lasting project.
