Italian lighting design, unknown to some, has a rich and extensive history steeped in tradition and innovation that has been very influential primarily since the 1940’s.

It was during this time, post world war two, that Italian lighting design became recognised around the world and become renowned for creating, what are now considered, commonplace classics in modern and contemporary lighting designs. To this day Italy is known as one of the world leaders in lighting design for continually bringing fresh, exiting and highly original masterpiece fittings among the more well known, traditional and practical lighting solutions all with, as they say in Italy “l’intenzione di illuminare” (the intension to illuminate).

Innovative and revolutionary lighting designs from Italy can be seen all over the world. From office desks, fine restaurants, a variety of homes all the way to being praised for its influence in the display cabinets of the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
