Axel Meise

Even as a teenager, Axel Meise built luminaires for his personal use. In the early 80s, he designed his first commercial luminaires while still studying mechanical engineering. He dropped out of his studies, turned his hobby into a profession and founded his first company 'Axel Meise Licht', which manufactured and distributed low-voltage halogen luminaires developed by him and partly together with his co-designer Christoph Kügler.
