The story
behind the light.

Founded in Pune. Driven by a belief that light is not a product — it is an experience that shapes how people feel in their own spaces.

Our Founding

A brand born from
one simple truth.

RIKO Lighting was founded in Pune in 2024 with a single, unshakeable belief: that the quality of light in a space determines how people feel within it. Not the brightness. Not the colour temperature. The quality — the way a fixture sits in a room, the warmth it casts, the shadow it makes. We started by asking what premium lighting looked like for the modern Indian home. We found that most brands were either importing from Europe at unreachable price points, or manufacturing domestically with no design vision. RIKO was built to fill that gap. Every product we release is the result of months of research, material testing, and iterative design — guided by our core principle that light should feel like an architectural decision, not an accessory.

"We don't just sell light. We shape how people feel in their own homes."

What We Stand For

Four principles
that guide every
design decision.

These are not marketing words. They are the filter through which every product, partnership, and creative choice passes before it becomes part of RIKO.

01
Dark-First Design
The dark version is always primary. Midnight Navy is the brand's natural canvas — we design for the night and adapt to the day.
02
Light as Decoration
The glow is never incidental. Every light source in our products is an intentional decorative act.
03
Space is Luxury
We believe in generous proportions. Every product breathes. Crowding is the enemy of luxury.
04
Gold is Sacred
Champagne Gold appears exactly where it matters. Used selectively, it signals everything.
