from glow to afterglow

The word aeon, also spelled eon or æon, originally means ‘life,’ and/or ‘being,’ though it then tended to mean ‘age, forever’ or ‘for eternity.’ In Homer, it typically refers to life or life span. Its latest meaning is similar to the Sanskrit word, kalpa, and Hebrew word, olam. A cognate Latin word aevum or aeuum for ‘age,’ is present in words such as longevity and mediæval.

Although the term aeon may be used in reference to a period of a billion years, (especially in geology, cosmology, or astronomy,) its more common usage is for any long, indefinite period of time.

Aëon Illumination is the fusion between design and industry. Materials combine to create designs, which last and are not merely of the moment. The collection is composed of light fittings sourced from around the world and will continue to develop, to encompass the notion of longevity in both design and product.
