The Spirit of ASLA 2025
This year’s ASLA Conference in New Orleans embraced the theme Beyond Boundaries, a call to collaboration, innovation, and connection within the design community. The conference floor was filled with creativity and conversation as designers, makers, and landscape professionals came together to explore how thoughtful design can shape more connected environments.
For Lumacast, the theme resonated deeply. Our work has always existed at the intersection of craft and connection, creating design-forward fire features and furnishings that invite people to gather, pause, and share space. ASLA 2025 provided the perfect setting to celebrate those ideals alongside a community equally dedicated to pushing design beyond boundaries.

Lumacast at the Show: Gathering Around the Fire
Our presence at ASLA 2025 centered on what we know best: creating spaces that bring people together. Throughout the weekend, our booth became a natural gathering place where attendees paused to warm up, converse, and experience our fire features firsthand. From designers stopping by for meaningful conversations to those who couldn’t resist roasting a few s’mores, every interaction reminded us that connection sits at the heart of great design.
It wasn’t just about showcasing products; it was about sparking relationships. Meeting architects, landscape designers, and trade professionals in person offered new perspectives and meaningful exchanges that we’ll carry forward long after the event.

Collaboration in Context: Landscapeforms x Loll x Lumacast
One of the highlights of the weekend was seeing our work featured in the Landscapeforms booth, paired seamlessly with our good friends at Loll. The space became a welcoming setting that encouraged people to gather, connect, and experience the shared possibilities of thoughtful outdoor design. Collaborations like this highlight how design partnerships can spark new ideas and bring people together in meaningful ways.

Community and Conversation
ASLA is, at its core, about people. Beyond the booths and displays, what stood out most were the conversations with designers sharing stories about their projects, partners discussing future collaborations, and students curious about the craft behind our fire features. Those moments of exchange, small but meaningful, defined our experience at the show.
Each connection reminded us why we do what we do: to create pieces that bring people together and complement the environments they help design.
