Luxury LED lighting design and manufacturing with international retail distribution
Occhio manufactures and distributes high-end LED lighting systems from Munich, operating through 500+ retail partners and seven flagship stores across Europe and Asia. The company's tech stack reflects a design-driven, manufacturing-focused operation: Adobe Creative Suite dominates (Photoshop, InDesign), CAD and lighting simulation (Archicad, DIALux) anchor product development, while Dynamics 365 Business Central and Jira manage operations and projects. Active hiring shows a sales-heavy structure (9 of 17 open roles) paired with minimal recent velocity, suggesting the company is consolidating sales infrastructure and partner agreements rather than scaling headcount aggressively.
Founded in 1999, Occhio designs and manufactures LED lighting systems positioned in the luxury segment, serving both residential and commercial spaces. The product line emphasizes consistent design language, tunable color quality (CRI 97), and modular fixtures that adapt to different environments. The company operates a hybrid go-to-market model: direct sales through owned flagship stores in Munich, Cologne, Hamburg, Berlin, Milan, London, and Shanghai; and indirect sales through lighting and interior design retailers across Europe and beyond. With 201–500 employees, the business is scaling its project segment (commercial lighting contracts) and wholesale partnerships, while optimizing internal processes around accounting, partner agreements, and regional expansion.
Occhio's design workflow centers on Adobe Creative Cloud (Photoshop, InDesign), complemented by Archicad for 3D modeling and DIALux for lighting simulation and quality validation. Casambi and KNX handle smart lighting control layers.
Occhio sells through two channels: direct sales via seven flagship stores (Munich, Cologne, Hamburg, Berlin, Milan, London, Shanghai) and indirect sales through 500+ lighting and interior design retail partners. The company is actively growing its project-based commercial lighting segment and wholesale partnerships.
