Manufacturing Process
” THE FIT IS THE ART OF MECHANICS “ – Stevan BIJELIC
Fosfens® luminaires are designed to last in time and across generations. They must therefore offer maximum protection and every detail of their construction has been developed and tested to withstand heavy use. They are also distinguished by their technical complexity, their high-end aesthetics, their finishes and the quality of the light. Fosfens® uses only first-class materials with a skillful combination of hand, machine and machining centers. Each piece receives its finishing (polishing, satin and micro-billing) subtle and contrasted in a long process marrying mechanized and manual work. All components are manufactured and finished with the same concern for technical and aesthetic perfection. The surface treatment finish on our products keeps them from corrosion, provides a hard and scratch resistant surface, and a beautiful color tint.
La Maison Fosfens
Our heritage preceded even the founding of the company. It was in 1970 that Stevan Bijelic 17-year-old, made a decision that would not only change his own life but also of his family: he leaves his homeland for the City of the Lights, Paris. That will enable him to continue and to enrich his passion for watchmaking & the shaping of materials. At the time, the tools and techniques are with manual know-how. Before opening the family company and begins its career as an Entrepreneur, he had become quickly a valued craftsman in a prestigious workshop of the capital. Since, its work is used in aeronautics, medical and luxury in a sector which requires rare competences & experiences.
This need to be as closely as possible to our dreams was passed on to his son Milan. Having participated from the beginning to the development of the LED Lighting market through several multinational companies leaders in the domain for more than 15years, he discovers it a new world ” The Light “. Just like the passion which he has for the music, he decided then to compose and leave the corporate world to the creative industry. With Elena, his wife, they decide to realize all their desires without compromise, expanding “La Maison” with Fosfens and their five children.
A “phosphene” is a phenomenon that results in the sensation of seeing a light or the appearance of stars in the visual field, including closed eyes.

« An extraordinary evolution and a huge performance in the lighting sector! FOSFENS addresses all the technical facets of the lighting of “artworks” but not only.

I do not despair of convincing him …» Nicolas MARTIN – LVMH Lighting Manager – Dir. Environnement
