Designing for a Better Future

At Kionnali, we believe that design is more than creating products—it’s about creating systems and solutions that protect, adapt, and heal. These principles guide everything we do, ensuring that our innovations are not only sustainable but also empowering for the people and ecosystems they serve.

LightFactories in Disaster Zones

When disaster strikes, the need for immediate, scalable, and sustainable solutions becomes critical. Organizations like FEMA face immense challenges in providing shelter for displaced communities, often relying on temporary solutions that are costly, inefficient, and environmentally damaging. LightFactories offer a revolutionary alternative—a way to quickly create emergency housing that is adaptable, resilient, and regenerative.

A New Kind of Manufacturing

What if manufacturing could look entirely different? What if it could regenerate ecosystems instead of degrading them, empower communities rather than exploiting them, and build a better future while meeting today’s needs?

LF Villages

What if your neighborhood wasn’t just a collection of homes but a vibrant, interconnected ecosystem that prioritized both community and individuality?

UN Climate Goals

By addressing challenges through systemic and integrated approaches, we are actively contributing to achieving all of the UN Sustainable Development Goals.

Leave It Better

It's not enough to just stop causing damage. We need to be actively improving the ecosystems we all live in.

Why Did We Design the LightForm

You don’t drive a horse and cart to get around or use a corded phone to make calls. It is time housing got an upgrade too. But what does that mean and what options are out there?

Being Prepared and Living Better

It's time we redesign our infrastructure for the challenges we face today and the future we need to be prepared for - and improve our lives in the process.

Build A Better Business

Kionnali's mission is to create a better business and society by prioritizing values like fairness, respect, and resilience. We plan to achieve this by offering affordable and sustainable mobile homes, called LightForms, which can help individuals and families become more independent and reconnect with their communities.

Our Vision

We envision a society where everyone wakes each morning with their basic needs met, surrounded by natural beauty and the support of a connected community. This is a world where we redefine and redistribute technology so it serves as a bridge, helping people learn, grow, and connect across the globe, all while reinforcing our place within the ecosystems we call home.

Interface Grant Award

The University of Aberdeen has finished a simulation of our Integrated Energy System (IES), funded by a grant from Interface, which has found that our IES system is 75% more efficient than a standard home!

Building firm at its two-year anniversar­y

"I'm really proud of the culture we are building," said Corrin. "We try to give all our team members a voice to allow the company to adapt and improve as quickly as possible. "This has helped create a lively and flexible work culture that's key to our success. We have a lot of fun and drink a lot of tea. It's just a nice place to come to work every day."

Agile Practices with Cloud-Native CAD

During a recent Onshape User Group meeting, attendees heard from Corrin Fox, Co-founder of Kionnali, who articulated the company's mission and the path it is taking to get there.

Opportunities in Clean Heat

As well as clean heat veterans and growing start-ups, Scotland is also home to some completely new arrivals, specifically for clean heat. Kionnali Living Systems was founded by American couple Corrin Fox and Avriel Skolnick in 2022. The two of them were living off-grid in the US and compiled a spreadsheet of potential global destinations where they could realise their energy-efficient concept for sustainable living systems. Scotland came out on top.
