For over three decades, LightForm has illuminated Edmonton's design landscape with an unparalleled blend of innovation, quality and aesthetic brilliance. As Canada’s largest importer of decorative lighting, LightForm is not just a store, it’s a beacon of creativity and design, transforming spaces with a meticulously detailed approach to both lighting and furniture design.

With partnerships spanning approximately 50 lighting brands and 60 decor and furniture brands, LightForm brings a world of possibilities to its clientele. From the iconic hedonistic lights by a-emotional to Octavio Amado's geometric sculpted lights, LightForm’s offerings are a testament to the art of illumination.

Walking into LightForm, one is struck by the harmonious blend of light and shadow; a sensory experience that showcases the transformative power of lighting. The Bocce glass-blown series, with its artisanal craftsmanship, adds a touch of elegance and sophistication, while Archilume’s luxury designs bring forth a modern, sleek aesthetic. Perhaps most captivating is the Verpan Fun chandelier, a nearly 6.5-foot tall masterpiece made of tinkling seashell discs and stainless steel rings that dance with light in a mesmerizing display.

"Organic brutalism is very much on trend these days and we are seeing that in lighting, too,” says Craig Volkerink, regional sales manager for LightForm. “Laser cut wood or organic shapes, mimicking underwater sand, oceans and anything else related to Mother Nature continues to be very popular. Some fixtures may look very delicate, like they are made of fabric, but they are actually made with very durable materials that are meant to last. We are also seeing more ceramics and concrete being used, and of course, coloured glass is on trend, as well."

In essence, LightForm is more than just a boutique lighting and furniture store; it is a curator of stories, each piece contributing to a larger narrative of design and living. With a team that is passionate about every detail and a collection that is as diverse as it is exquisite, LightForm continues to light the way in Edmonton’s design community, one meticulously crafted piece at a time.

Lightform can be found at 10545124 St., Edmonton, AB. Open Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
