Soltech's Aura Grow Light Wins a 2026 iF Design Award
Soltech's Aura ambient grow lamp combines interior lighting with plant-supporting technology. Designed by Matteo Ragni Studio in Turin, Italy, the award-winning lamp recently received the 2026 iF Design Award for Product Design
PHILADELPHIA, PA - March 16, 2026 - Soltech Solutions announced today that its Aura grow light has received a 2026 iF Design Award, one of the world's most respected honors for design excellence. The recognition highlights how the company is redefining plant lighting by transforming the traditional grow light into a design object for modern homes.
The award recognizes Aura's design-led approach to indoor plant lighting, transforming a traditionally technical grow light into a sculptural object for contemporary interiors.
Awarded in the Product Design - Lighting category, Aura was selected by an international jury of 129 independent design experts from more than 10,000 submissions across 68 countries. The product achieved a final jury score of 305 points, surpassing the 275-point threshold required to win.
Designed by Matteo Ragni Studio in Turin, Italy, Aura was created to challenge the traditional perception of what a grow light should be. Rather than functioning solely as a technical device for plant care, the project reimagines plant lighting as a design object, one that supports plant life while enhancing the spaces and people around it.
The result is the world's first ambient grow lamp, combining warm diffused lighting with a light spectrum engineered to help plants thrive. With its softly glowing globe and solid wood base, Aura integrates naturally into modern interiors as both lighting and decor.
Aura was designed to transform the traditional grow light into a design object for everyday living.
"Our vision for the Aura was to challenge the perception of what a grow light could be," said Paul Hodges, CEO of Soltech Solutions. "We wanted to design something that didn't just support plants but also elevated the atmosphere of a home. In doing so, we created a piece that brings light, life, and design together in the home."
Since its launch in November 2025, Aura has repeatedly sold out and is currently available only through limited batch pre-sales as production scales.
Established in 1954, the iF Design Award is widely regarded as a global benchmark for design excellence, honoring outstanding achievements in product design, architecture, communication design, and user experience.
