Beginning

Designer, craftsman and lighting editor, Ozone was born in 2000, in Paris, from the vision and imagination of Etienne Gounot and Eric Jähnke. When they met, sitting at neighboring desks in an office where they both worked as engineers, something clicked. They gave up their established careers to give free rein to their creativity. Deeply touched by nature and architecture, Eric and Etienne have made light the spark, the substance of their project.

Their major inspirations are the sun and the sky with their thousand nuances, from cold to warm light, from sharp shadows to soft diffusions, from the uniformity of color to the most subtle gradations. They are also recollections of moments when we are suddenly enveloped in a magical light, unified with the world and our soul.

Ozone places particular emphasis on the development of new technologies. So that the light reveals the work of architecture in the most faithful way, respecting the subtlety of lines and colors.

Historically, man’s reference light has come from the sun, the flame of a candle or the light of an ember. Today, Ozone seeks to sublimate and elevate the use of Dim to Warm technology in high-end lighting. By incorporating this technology into its designs, Ozone creates a very soft, warm light that mimics the natural curve of the sun, moving from a cooler light during the day to a warmer light in the evening. Combined with a Color Rendering Index (CRI) of over 95, the LEDs used by Ozone guarantee a faithful reproduction of colors, bringing users closer to natural light in their daily lives. Light temperature, measured in Kelvin, ranges from 1900K to 2500K for a warm, welcoming atmosphere.

Ozone combines the best of incandescent lamps (in light variation) with the durability and energy efficiency of LEDs, offering natural, high-performance lighting, recreating the same peaceful sensations as watching the sun set.
