John Tremaine started his lighting career in 1970 with his family’s lighting business, The Miller Company, acquired by his grandfather in the early 1930’s. John’s great grandfather founded the National Electric Lamp Association (NELA), which became General Electric’s lamp division in Cleveland, still in use today as Nela Park. Lighting design became Tremaine’s greatest interest. In 1980, he started his own lighting design practice, Tremaine Lighting Design. Five years later, he opened a high-tech lighting showroom, “PRIMO”, providing customers with a creative alternative to functional lighting.
