C74 – Design with Character
At C74, we do more than just lighting — we create atmospheres. Every piece is an invitation to experience light in a way that is tactile, powerful, and lasting. Rooted in a deep respect for craftsmanship and engineering, our work is where elegance meets strength.

Our approach is grounded in simplicity and honesty — a reflection of our  roots.

In a world where everything seems to have been done before, brothers Erik and Paul Nijhuis bring fresh perspectives to the table. With creativity and a no-nonsense attitude, they design lighting that is both surprising and practical.

Take the Trolley: two wheels, a lamp, and a hood — robust and portable, indoors or out. Simple? Exactly. That’s the brilliance.

We work with solid materials, clean forms, and a meticulous eye for detail, ensuring that each piece is more than just a source of light — it’s a presence in the space.

Our designs are industrial, distinctive, and sustainable. They are made to last, to be noticed, and to be felt. For us, design is about refined simplicity — the kind that feels just as good as it looks.

We believe that good lighting speaks for itself. But when you stand beneath it — when you see how it interacts with its surroundings — you’ll understand exactly what we mean.

 

C74. The Feeling of Light.
