At Filamento, we have a different vision for lighting. With each product, we surpass conventional thinking to set new standards for what is possible. Every seemingly insurmountable challenge is met with passion, imagination and the determination that everything should be, and can be better.

Founded in 2014 in the heart of Silicon Valley California, Filamento is guided by the leadership of Frank Shum. Frank’s forward-thinking, relentless pursuit for improvement and uncompromising drive to innovate is what has set Filamento apart. Before launching Filamento, Frank was the General Manager and Chief Designer for all of Soraa’s groundbreaking products. Frank’s innovations have been internationally recognized by many prestigious organizations with a myriad of awards including Red Dot, SIL Sapphire, Lighting and Architecture Magazine, LightFair International, LuxLive, DOE Lighting for Tomorrow, and more. With more than 100 patents to his name, Frank has, and continues to, demonstrate an unrivaled legacy of innovation.

Much more than a manufacturer of industrial lighting solutions, Filamento is a visionary company focused on creating a brighter future.
