George Kovacs Lighting is a name synonomous with modern design: Wall sconces, chandeliers, table and floor lamps are all part of the Kovacs genius' for creating contemporary lighting that is revolutionary in design and practical in use. For over four decades, George Kovacs has been a name equivalent with contemporary design. Mr. Kovacs was a pioneer in the fusion of clean lines with unexpected twists and curves, resulting in pieces that had a modern appeal with a retro flavor. His design philosophy has since become an industry standard, but there are few lighting collections that can truly match the originality of Kovacs.
George Kovacs has trained and influenced groups of designers for decades, taking them under his wing and giving them valuable experience in the nuances of lighting design. In the later years of his life, Mr. Kovacs was unable to design, but his proteges took up the reins for him. One group, created in tribute to the designer, is called Simply Kovacs, and it epitomized by the Simply Original Collection Accent Lamp shown at left. It continues with the great traditional of surprising design, cutting-edge modernism, and affordability, all hallmarks of the Kovacs Legacy and entirely embraced by the Minka Group, parent company of George Kovacs Lighting.

From early on the sixties, Mr. Kovacs designed and manufactured his products from his facility in Brooklyn, NY. This facility became the epicenter of a revolution in modern design and launched the careers of many of those associated with Kovacs. A few years ago, his studio, designs, and naming rights were purchased by the Minka Group and his collection was incorporated as a stand-alone grouping. Although the products are now imported, the design heritage remains the same. George Kovacs lighting remains at the forefront of cutting edge contemporary style, and he retains a team of renowned designers, including George Kovacs himself, Rachel Simon, Karim Rashid and Alecia Wesner. These lighting experts have designed a wide selection of pendants, chandeliers (such as the George Kovacs Kimono Collection 5-Light Chandelier), and bath & vanity lighting, table lamps and floor lamps.
