Exenia

What Exenia does

Exenia is an Italian designer and manufacturer of architectural LED lighting luminaires, founded in 2010 and headquartered in Calenzano (Florence), Italy. The company produces a broad portfolio of indoor and outdoor fixtures organized into wall lamps, pendant/ceiling luminaires, downlights, linear systems, track systems, base projectors, floor lamps, bollards, and outdoor projectors. Its technology stack centers on in-house optical engineering — most notably the proprietary Multimetrik variable beam optics (15°–36° Spot / 32°–60° Wide), CRI options up to 98, UGR<10 glare-controlled micro-optics, IP54–IP67 protection ratings, and tunable white / RGBW color engines — combined with broad control-protocol support (CASAMBI, DALI, DMX/RDM, 1-10V, PUSH, phase cut). Exenia has been a wholly-owned subsidiary of Canada's Lumenpulse Group since December 2015, gaining access to the parent's research laboratories and international distribution while retaining Italian design autonomy and ISO 9001:2015-certified in-house production from concept to delivery.

The business model is B2B project-driven hardware sales, with revenue generated through standardized catalog luminaires and bespoke custom solutions engineered to project specifications. Pricing is quote-based rather than publicly listed, consistent with a specification-driven sales motion to architects, lighting designers, and end clients. Primary customer segments are museums and cultural heritage, places of worship, hospitality, and retail (with named references including the Pantheon Rome, Sanctuary of San Luca, Casa Buonarroti, Tornabuoni Art, and Campagnatico Farmhouse); secondary segments include office/commercial (driven by the UGR<10 Superlinea launch), education, and high-end residential. Geographic reach covers Italy, France, Germany, and Spain via a multilingual website, with go-to-market supported by the DIALux lighting-design-software partnership and direct enterprise field sales. Headcount is in the 51–100 range, and the company shows an active 2024–2025 product release cadence (Superlinea Suspension, DARK IP54, Multimetrik platform).
