Trophy presentation « Créatrice d’Avenir », 2019.

our story

The glowing plant concept is borned from Sophie Hombert’s imagination, founder of Aglae. This is during her design studies that the story begins with the writing of her dissertation on « The domestication of plants » which will be published later. Sophie then seeks to restore a place of choice to plants by giving it a functional role thanks to lighting. She builds partnerships with research laboratories where she invents the famous elixir.
This is the beginning of the entrepreneurial adventure for Sophie.
In 2016, Aglaé was created and quickly became the pioneer company in this field. Sophie is surrounded by an ambitious and passionate team, where scientists and creatives work in symbiosis.
Today, the two main activities of the start-up are focused on R&D and events, in order to make you live the most beautiful of light experiences.
