KĀDNS began in 2022 as a passion project of two industrial designers, Echo Zhan and Viola Yingqiu Huang.
Working full-time in the tech industry, where productivity and speed are always praised and chased, the two designers found themselves yearning for something more aligned with their personal values. They discovered lighting to be the perfect medium - one that could be both a thoughtfully designed object and a form of artistic expression. Through lights, they set out to help people craft meaningful spaces and lifestyles.

KĀDNS is a purpose-driven decorative lighting brand.
We design each light with the mission of resonating with people emotionally and enhancing their well-being —whether by fostering calm during moments of distress, inspire social activities that lead to meaningful connections, or shaping focused environments free from distractions.
By blending emotion and illumination, we help shape spaces that inspire comfort, connection, and purpose.
