Luxo ASA is a Norwegian manufacturer of lamps.[1] Based in Oslo, it has sales throughout Europe and North America, with production plants in Norway, Sweden and California, United States. The company was founded in 1934 and was listed on the Oslo Stock Exchange.[2]

In 1937, Jac Jacobsen, the founder of Luxo, invented the Luxo L-1 lamp,[3] which was the inspiration for the animated short film, Luxo Jr., by Pixar.[4] It was also the subject of a subsequent lawsuit by Luxo.[5][6]
