Davide Groppi - Shanghai brass suspension lamp 3000K push

A suspended light segment. Beautiful alone or in composition. For the workplace or for the kitchen.

Davide Groppi

From the end of the eighties, starting from a very small laboratory in the historic center of Piacenza, he invents and produces lamps with the homonymous brand. Over time, creative and entrepreneurial independence has 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 amazement are the fundamental elements. Davide Groppi's lamps arise from the need to give shape to a need or a meaning. His inspirations are art, ready-mades, magic, the desire to make things with your hands or simply the desire to play and joke with light. For Davide Groppi, light is 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.
