Nanoleaf

Our story begins with three adventure-seeking, life-loving, dream-chasing digital nomads with an aspiration: make the world a better place. It wasn’t a new idea, nor one unique to them. But there was a passionate, personal connection to it. The three founders met while building a solar-powered car on the University of Toronto’s World Solar Challenge team—and learned that there didn’t have to be a compromise between performance and efficiency.Nanoleaf began as a Kickstarter campaign in 2012, with the founders living in the production facility in China. Originally called the Nanolight, our first product existed because of a belief that the lightbulb didn’t have to look like a lightbulb just because. And could also be much more energy efficient than any lightbulb before it. Thus, the black sheep of LED lighting was born.
