The World Through the Founder’s Lens

Lisander Osmani, the founder of Lume, has always seen the world through a unique lens. Growing up in a small village in Belgium with deep Eastern European roots, he was surrounded by diverse perspectives that shaped his worldview. Yet, he noticed a troubling trend: many people, especially the younger Generation Z, seemed overwhelmed by the endless choices and information available online, struggling to find their path and understand what truly makes them happy. This realization sparked Lisander’s mission to create Lume, a brand not just about eyewear but about inspiring people to rediscover their own vision of the world.

For Lisander, happiness is not something you actively seek but rather something you encounter along the way. He believes that true happiness comes from doing what you love in a way that resonates with you. Finding what you enjoy involves trying various experiences and seeing what brings you fulfillment."Lume was born from this philosophy—combining high-quality, stylish eyewear with the idea that everyone should have the freedom to see the world through their own unique lens."

Success, means reaching the goals you’ve set for yourself. It’s about achieving what you’ve worked towards and feeling accomplished in your journey. He also views cultural differences as a beautiful aspect of life that enriches our understanding of the world. This belief was a driving force behind Lume—creating a brand that not only celebrates individual vision but also brings people and cultures together to experience life through diverse perspectives.

He acknowledges that our backgrounds and personal experiences deeply influence our worldview. "It’s challenging to ignore past experiences, but we can choose and seek out future ones." By encouraging people to explore their own visions and embracing different perspectives, Lume aims to help individuals navigate their paths with clarity and confidence.
