Davide Groppi - Sampei 260 matt white floor lamp 3000K

A special project, an authentic ready-made.
Obtained from a fishing rod, flexible and telescopic, it is a delicate and elegant sign, which brings to mind the subtle branches of a willow tree or bamboo canes floating on a light breeze.
Sampei is an unexpected gift, it is the magic of looking up, using light as a hook, and being amazed by so much weightlessness. The light is the fisherman’s line, catching faces, gazes, people.

Davide Groppi

It all started in a small laboratory in the historical centre of the Italian town of Piacenza during the late 1980’s. Davide Groppi was inventing and producing his first lamps and decided simply to use his own name for the name of the company.
Over time, creative independence and management have allowed him to develop his own brand of original and unique products, distributed the world over.
Projects that come from heart and mind, intuitions that emerge from a certain way of being and thinking, in which simplicity, lightness, emotion, invention and amazement are the fundamental elements.

Davide Groppi creations come about through the need to give life to something that is necessary or significant.
The things that inspire these ideas are works of art, ready-made objects, magic, the desire to make things with his hands or simply the urge to play and have fun with light.with light.
