About Christopher Poehlmann

Christoper Poehlmann, creator of CP Lighting, has been called a lot of names: designer, maker, artist, entrepreneur, collaborator, jack of all trades, father, writer, teacher, self taught student... He has built a following through a singular pursuit of designing and building objects that engage him and by good fortune also engage many other patrons.

Poehlmann’s exploration of material culture began in the 80s with found objects and re-purposed industrial materials. This love of materials continues today. Aluminum, a highly recycled and recyclable material, plays a major role as does recycled glass, up-cycled plastic and other sustainable practices.

“Collaboration is the key to our success as design innovators”

Please explore our web site and think about it as both a project catalog and inspiration jumping off point. Nearly everything here is in some degree of customizable. It may be color, cord or support type, size and material, or we may be able to reinvent the idea in a way that is specific to your needs. Our newGROWTH series has been evolving for the past 20 years because of of Poehlmann’s drive to reinvent coupled with his desire to collaborate with clients. So…. always feel free to ask!
