Photo by Adam Lerner. Lars Dahlhaus carries on the family tradition in the lighting business, first started by his father in Germany.
Light is in Lars Dahlhaus’ blood. As the owner of Light Up Brooklyn, Dahlhaus represents the next generation in his family’s long love affair with designing and selling light fixtures. His father owns a high-end traditional lighting company eponymously named Dahlhaus back in his native Germany, and little Lars spent many hours watching his father at work and dreaming about taking up the family trade.
“I grew up in the business,” he says. “Because of my father, I’ve been looking forward to having a retail store my whole life.”
