ABOUT NILA
At NILA, they embrace the transformative essence of light.
Light is more than a tool to illuminate; it is an art form—a subtle brushstroke capable of reshaping spaces, evoking emotions, and crafting unforgettable moments. At NILA, which stands for ‘New Innovations in Lighting Architecture, they channel their passion for light into creating innovative, elegant, and purposeful lighting solutions.
Their commitment lies in elevating this often-underestimated element, turning it into a defining feature of any environment. With NILA, light becomes more than functional; it becomes inspirational.
PASSION FOR LIGHTING AND DESIGN
Born in Nijmegen, Frans Peelen discovered his passion for lighting in 2010. After starting in retail, he joined Philips Lighting in 2012, where he contributed to prestigious projects like Heineken and the Johan Cruijff Arena during his 11-year career.
Frans built a strong network of installers, consultants, and designers, deepening his appreciation for lighting's ability to transform spaces. As he says, Light is an experience that adds value to a space.
At home in a 1930s house near Den Bosch, where he lives with his wife and daughter, Frans applies his expertise to create warm, design-focused interiors. Now, through NILA, he brings over a decade of experience and a vision for innovative lighting to life.
