Origin

Whereas Matthea Rijneker focused on horticulture with Potted Plants, Richard van de Vrie of Luximprove specialized in professional lighting projects from a brand-independent perspective.

Ramón van de Vrie saw this as an opportunity to pursue his passion. As a Horticulture Lighting Researcher, he created the link between both worlds. And that is how Ledgnd saw the light of day.
