The big idea to bring Luz de Flores to market came when creative director JJ Acuna of JJ Acuna / Bespoke Studio saw the earliest versions of the lamps being delivered at a clinic in Singapore. “We wanted to create timeless wall accents that were iconic statement pieces but made the space softer and more relaxed. Clinics can be a serious space, so we wanted to make sure we designed lamps that added ease and whimsy into the room,” recalled JJ.

Soon after, the Hong Kong- and Manila-based designer reached out to Venzon’s mother-daughter duo, Jackie and Alexis Venzon, with his proposal. “The collaboration came naturally after seeing versions of the lamps up on the wall at the clinic in Singapore. I took a photo and sent it to Alexis, and I told her, 'We've got to bring a version of this to market!’ She got to it right away and made it her own personal project."

The vision was clear: to create lighting fixtures—wall sconces, pendants, table and floor lamps—that were multifunctional, versatile, and, above all, playful. JJ shared, “I feel like, in general, the world needs more wall sconces and fun floor lamps. Some iconic and decorative lighting can feel too masculine or streamlined and extravagant. For me, I just felt the market needed well-crafted pieces that are urban, whimsical, and simple.”

“The intention really came from JJ from the very beginning,” added Alexis, brand director of Venzon. “He challenged us to think about how Venzon could translate its design language into pieces that were playful, collectible, and easier to live with—pieces that could move in and out of condos, studios, or smaller homes while still carrying the same emotional presence as our larger works.”

With its long history of creating bold, conversational design objects, the launch of the new lighting pieces also marks a new chapter in world-building, expanding beyond the scale and context people usually associate with the Venzon brand.

Every piece from the Luz de Flores collection by JJ Acuna for Venzon was designed and crafted as a tactile, experiential celebration of playfulness, craftsmanship, collaboration, and experimentation.

“We always felt that the pieces should relate to the lotus flower in bloom, which only lasts a day or a few days at most. We wanted it to be inspired by a moment. With the colorways we drew from the natural world—pomegranates, tomatoes, trees. Although they are shaped like flowers, we didn’t want the colors to be too on-the-nose. We wanted to be remixed, intersectional, and maybe even a bit more on the edge of pop,” said JJ.

Made up of three wall lamps, the pieces also double as pendant lights and are named Flor S, Flor M, and Flor L, reflecting their progression in scale from small to large.

The collection also features two types of floor lamps, Ramo M and Ramo Especial, and the table lamp, Ramo S.

With ease, movement, and mobility in mind, Luz de Flores is made distinct by fully portable and rechargeable lighting features—a first for Venzon. They are also fitted with a touch switch that allows for intuitive control, which includes dimming.

The pieces in colorways Pommy, Toma, and Forrest are priced from P21,000 to P150,000, while those in Chrome 26 are priced from P24,000 to P160,000.

Luz de Flores is a statement piece, a testament to the brilliance of Filipino talent. For JJ, he believes in the prospect of two global Philippine brands coming together. “Part of what excites me about working with Venzon is that the studio is half Filipino but also half Mexican. The brand and the Venzon family are both local and global. It’s the same as JJ Acuna / Bespoke Studio. I grew up in Texas, our studio launched in Hong Kong, and now we have a presence in Manila.”

“What makes these pieces truly Filipino are the hands that make them. Every piece is laser cut, welded, hand-finished, assembled, and painted in our workshop in Pampanga by a team of craftsmen who have been with Venzon for years. These are people who have spent decades creating technically demanding bespoke pieces with extraordinary care and precision,” Alexis concludes.
