Award-winning designer Lisa McDennon is known for her sophisticated take on modern California design, blending organic materials, sculptural forms, rich textures, and an unexpected touch of drama. With degrees in both fine art and interior design, McDennon founded her Laguna Beach–based firm, Lisa McDennon Design, in 2000, building a portfolio of acclaimed residential and commercial interiors inspired by art, architecture, travel, and the natural beauty of the California coast. Her work has received national recognition, including being named one of House Beautiful’s “Next Wave of Designers to Watch,” and has been featured in leading design publications.
McDennon’s transition into lighting design grew from her work with Hinkley, beginning with the redesign of the company’s 17,000-square-foot Dallas Market Center showroom in 2012. That relationship ultimately led to an exclusive lighting collaboration, with the Lisa McDennon Collection officially debuting in 2018. Her fixtures translate her signature “coastal modern” aesthetic into lighting through bold silhouettes, natural elements, layered materials, and artistic detailing. Collections such as Nula, Volt, Ren, and Folio helped establish McDennon as not only an accomplished interior designer, but a distinctive voice in decorative lighting and product design.
