Ilkwang Lighting , a 62-year-old company from Daegu, South Korea, initially focused on manufacturing incandescent bulbs. However, with the popularity of LED technology and market changes, the brand faced unprecedented challenges. In 2016, Ilkwang Lighting decided to join hands with Zerosixfour Design Studio to start a brand transformation journey, and the new ILKW LIGHTING was born, transforming from a traditional bulb manufacturer to a lighting design brand that combines aesthetics and functionality.

From traditional craftsmanship to modern design

Modern consumers value functionality and design aesthetics. This shift in market demand has given Daylight Lighting an opportunity to reposition its brand. Daylight Lighting's long history of manufacturing and innovative design thinking have created new business opportunities and entered the field of lighting design with the ILKW brand.

The core concept of ILKW is to combine traditional craftsmanship with modern design to create artistic and practical lamps. The brand is committed to exploring materials and using warm curves , so that light is not only for lighting, but also for embellishing space and creating atmosphere. ILKW emphasizes that lighting design should not only provide light, but also create an emotional connection with the living space, making light and shadow a part of daily life.

The core concept of the ILKW brand is to combine traditional craftsmanship with modern design to create products that are both functional and artistic. ILKW hopes to inject practical and beautiful designs into daily life through the use of materials and rounded and soft features, so that each lamp can become a focal point in the space.

SNOWMAN: Warm companionship in lamps

The "SNOWMAN" series launched by ILKW became famous at the Seoul Life Design Expo 2021 and became the brand's representative work. Inspired by the winter snowman, this lamp has a round shape and a soft warm yellow halo, as if creating a stable and warm atmosphere in the space.

The unique flattened round lampshade and cylindrical lamp base structure have made the SNOWMAN series very popular in South Korea and have successfully attracted the attention of young consumers and the international market, creating products that are both functional and aesthetically pleasing.
