With years of manufacturing and industrial design experience, the founders established Koncept in 2002 to design and develop innovative products for home and business. The company has since developed a line of elegant LED lamps and lighting elements with the discriminating consumer in mind. Not only have consumers embraced Koncept's lighting for home and office, the designs have gained national and international attention.Koncept's flagship product, the Z-Bar High Power LED desk lamp has won critical acclaim in publications such as U.S. News & World Report, Samsung's DigitAll Magazine. It has also won a number of prestigious awards from International Design Magazine and Time Magazine and was selected as a permanent display in Germany's Die Neue Sammlung museum as a best innovation of the 20th/21st centuries.Encouraged by the popularity of and need for high quality LED lighting, Koncept introduced Equo in 2009. To date, this finely sculpted LED lamp has earned awards from ADEX, SPARK, Chicago Athenaeum: Museum of Architecture and Design, Next Generation Luminaires (NGL) Award (sponsored by the U.S. Dept of Energy), and ASID's BLOOM award for energy efficiency. Perhaps most prestigious is that Equo was awarded the coveted red dot award for design excellence in 2011.Even the tremendous success of these exceptional LED lamps has not slowed the Koncept team of innovators. That's because ideas never rest at Koncept. Successes like Z-Bar and Equo and the new product lines are leading to our next and future generations of lighting elements.Koncept's goal remains as it started: Design innovative products that set high standards in the industry and more importantly, make your life safer, simpler and greener.
