TRAZZO Lighting

Lighting Design based in Miami, Florida, United States

Karen Mannheim is an architectural lighting designer, entrepreneur, and founder of TRAZZO Lighting, a studio that originated in Lima and now operates in Miami and Madrid. With over 30 years of experience, Karen has worked closely with leading architects, interior designers, and developers across Latin America, the United States, and the Middle East, illuminating spaces where design and emotion converge. Founded in 1992, TRAZZO has established itself as Peru’s most respected lighting company, renowned for its expertise in architectural lighting. At TRAZZO, lighting is not an afterthought or decorative addition; it is a starting point—a framework that shapes how a space breathes, shifts, and conveys emotion. The studio approaches lighting design the way others design experiences, drawing inspiration from the power of light to shape emotions and create unique atmospheres. TRAZZO is guided by elegance, subtlety, and restraint, influenced by artists and designers who demonstrate that light, when used intentionally, can completely transform the perception of a space.
