Meet MushLume, the award-winning biofabricated lighting collection that is GROWN, not manufactured, from mycelium—the roots of mushrooms!

What if the materials that light our spaces could be grown? 🍄💡

MushLume is coming to Greenbuild NYC! Find our Cup Light and Tall Boy table lamps in the mindful MATERIALS exhibit, designed by the Center for Circularity in Interior Design. This 800-square-foot space brings together products and material stories that explore circular design in practice.

We’re pleased to join mindful MATERIALS and the Center for Circularity in Interior Design in inviting a closer look at what our interiors are made of, how materials are transformed, and what happens after their useful life.

Our lamps are grown from mushroom mycelium and h**p, an agricultural byproduct. Mycelium naturally binds the h**p into sculptural forms without synthetic resins or added chemical fire retardants, using very little energy and water during growth.

From agricultural byproduct to functional art, the mycelium-and-h**p parts are compostable after separation from electrical components and hardware.

Come experience grown lighting firsthand.

We’re honored to have been selected as a New York Fashion Innovation Center (NYFIC) Grant Awardee.

This grant marks an exciting next chapter for MushLume: developing and testing a new mycelium-based acoustic wall system using h**p, New York agricultural byproducts, and regenerative wool.

Over the coming year, we’ll be exploring how these regional, renewable materials can work together to create high-performance acoustic interiors without synthetic binders, fibers, or added chemicals,while maintaining the compostable material lifecycle at the heart of MushLume.

The project will take us from sourcing and testing New York-grown feedstocks, through material formulation and prototyping, to third-party acoustic testing and the development of a new interior system ready for commercial application.

We’ll be sharing the process along the way: the materials, experiments, successes, failures, prototypes, testing and everything we learn as we grow this next generation of MushLume.

Thank you to New York Fashion Innovation Center for supporting our work and the continued development of sustainable textiles and biomaterials in New York.

A new chapter for MushLume.

We’re incredibly excited to share our new feature in designboom magazine exploring MushLume’s evolution from an experimental biomaterials studio into a growing Brooklyn biofabrication practice.

Twelve years after I first encountered mycelium as a design material, our new home at MADE Bush Terminal brings research, growing, production, fulfillment and experimentation together under one roof.

The feature explores our philosophy of working with nature as a partner, how we grow lighting from mycelium and h**p, and where we’re headed next as we expand into integrated acoustic lighting and architectural systems.

Thank you to Designboom, NYCEDC and MADE Bush Terminal for sharing this next chapter of our story.

What if we could grow products instead of manufacturing them?

That question led me to mushroom mycelium and ultimately to founding MushLume Lighting over 12 years ago.

Working with a living material has changed the way I think about design, manufacturing, and our relationship with nature. It’s taught me that innovation doesn’t always mean inventing something new—it can also mean learning from systems that have existed for millions of years.

In this Founder Story, I’m sharing the journey behind MushLume, what continues to inspire my work, and why I believe the future of design lies in creating with nature, not against it. — Danielle Trofe, Founder

What if lighting could do more than illuminate a room?

At MushLume, we grow lighting from mycelium—the root structure of mushrooms—to create sculptural fixtures that are beautiful, high-performing, and designed with the health of people and the planet in mind.

Every shade is grown, not manufactured, using natural materials that help reduce reliance on plastics and other resource-intensive materials. The result is lighting that brings warmth, texture, acoustic benefits, and a deeper connection to nature into the spaces we inhabit.

We believe the future of design isn’t just about making less impact—it’s about creating materials that actively contribute to a more regenerative world.

Welcome to MushLume.

We’re honored to be part of the Healthy Materials Lab x ICFF Materials Showcase during NYCxDESIGN.

Within The OASIS exhibition, this curated space brings together designers and manufacturers advancing bio-based materials, regenerative design, and low-carbon fabrication—exploring how materials can support both human and environmental health.

MushLume Lighting will be featuring one of our mycelium-grown table lamps, created from h**p and mushroom mycelium—grown to shape, without waste, and fully biodegradable.

Through exhibitions, talks, and hands-on workshops, the program highlights practical pathways for material innovation, reuse, and circular design in the built environment.

📍 ICFF, Javits Center
📅 May 19–21

We’re honored to be part of SHINE, the 2026 NYCxDESIGN Exhibition exploring light as both material and message.

Presented at The Seaport and curated by in partnership with , SHINE brings together 70 designers whose work spans craft, technology, and personal expression—each piece reflecting a different way of seeing and shaping light.

MushLume will be exhibiting the Bubble Table Lamp—grown from mycelium and h**p, a material that forms through biological process rather than extraction. A quiet reminder that light can emerge from systems that give back.

May 14–20
The Seaport, NYC

If you’re in the city, we hope you’ll experience it in person.
