Eric Baron

Éric Baron is Chairman and CEO of CVL Luminaires, the emblematic French manufacturer of high-end lighting fixtures. Heir to a family history founded in 1960, he took over the company with the determination to infuse it with a resolutely contemporary identity, while preserving the artisanal excellence for which the brand is renowned. Visionary and deeply attached to the nobility of materials, he refocused production around solid brass and goldsmith's craftsmanship, giving birth to a line of lighting fixtures that combine precision, elegance and authenticity.

Throughout his career, Éric Baron has played a decisive role in the creation and development of numerous pieces that have become benchmarks of French design. His acute sense of proportion, masterful creativity and attention to detail have led him to create designs that combine minimalism, modernity and geometric rigor. The Carta collection, designed under his direction, perfectly illustrates this approach: subtle work on volumes, clear lines and a refined aesthetic that reflects the CVL philosophy. He has also contributed to the success of other models such as Cogolin, which has become an iconic piece thanks to its balance between innovation and tradition.

Under his leadership, CVL has established itself as a key player in contemporary design. Éric Baron cultivates a humanist and sustainable vision, based on close partnerships with craftsmen, the transmission of know-how and manufacturing entirely in France. This commitment is reflected in the quality of the finishes, the mastery of craftsmanship and the brand's ability to offer lighting fixtures that are graphic, timeless and perfectly adapted to today's interiors. His approach, at the crossroads of design and craftsmanship, makes Éric Baron an essential figure on the French lighting scene, faithful to the idea that each piece should illuminate as much by its presence as by its light.
