Davide Groppi - Mini PL ceiling lamp white black bicolors

Mini PL designed by Omar Carraglia for Davide Groppi is the recessed ceiling lamp. Elegant, clean lamp with a minimal and refined world style. Available in matt white or two-tone finish.

Omar Carraglia

Carraglia’s collaboration with Davide Groppi and his studio has produced a wide variety of designs that are nevertheless characterized by a constant gloss and modernity. Narrow and focused, with a clean line and defined geometric contrasts, the Mira 2012 lamp family by Carraglia shapes and defines the fulcrum of each space, while its floor lamps ABA 120 and ABA 45 table give a sense of novelty to a classic shape.
In addition, playfulness is another essential quality of many of Carraglia’s designs. This intrinsic sense of fun can be seen from the extravagant Imu, an outdoor lamp shaped like a birdhouse with bright colors, to the ironic Charles, which evokes the Darwinian theory tracing the evolution of the bulb in a single wall fixture, to the floor lamp Mister 2013 by Carraglia, a response and a complement to his suspension Miss 2006.
Pigreco, the new table lamp launched by Davide Groppi in 2019, reveals some intriguing new choices by Omar Carraglia. The most notable is the inclusion of a natural wood base, which gives warmth and earthiness to the lamp, which in turn is a partially frosted glass sphere. Pigreco evokes the soft and rounded shapes of the Cathode and Light My Fire models by Carraglia, but blends with its charm for precision in the perfection of a sphere.

Davide Groppi

Since the end of the eighties, starting from a small laboratory in the historic center of Piacenza, Davide Groppi invents and produces lamps with the homonymous brand. Over time, creative and entrepreneurial independence allowed him to develop original and recognizable projects, distributed all over the world. Projects that come from the heart and the brain, intuitions that emerge from a certain way of being and thinking, where simplicity, lightness, emotion, invention and wonder are the fundamental elements.
Davide Groppi lamps are born from the need to give shape to a necessity or a meaning.
His inspirations are art, ready-made, magic, the desire to do things with his hands or simply the desire to play and joke with the light. The light, for Davide Groppi, is also a wonderful opportunity to seduce and excite. Davide Groppi has always worked with a close-knit group of collaborators, with whom he shares all the ideas. During his many years of activity, Davide Groppi has developed projects and installations together with various design companies including: De Padova, Boffi, Paola Lenti and Christofle. There are countless works around the world: homes, shops, museums.

History

In 1985 he began working as a mechanical designer, but it was not until 1988 that he began to invent, build and sell lamps. In 1994 he had the good fortune to meet Maddalena De Padova who, inexplicably, decided to buy 40 pieces of my model (Baloo) and to exhibit them all together in the space of Corso Venezia at the Salone del Mobile in Milan.
