As part of Luminaire’s continued commitment to share with our community the emotions and thought processes that constitute good design, it is thrilled to welcome Davide Groppi to its ongoing DESIGNLIVES lecture series. The Italian designer will join Luminaire Lab on Thursday, February 25th at 6 PM to discuss his minimalist design philosophy and the importance of lightness as the synthesis of the fundamental components of all his creations. The minimalist maestro of light is a true creator of timeless objects of desire. Exuding refinement, all his lighting pieces blend in subtly due to their exquisite and innovative design. Following the lecture, guests will enjoy a display of his poetic lighting pieces such the Sampei, Tetatet, Edison’s Nightmare, and Masai among others.
The event titled MI AMI ?, “Do you love me?” in Italian, is a play on words on Miami, indicative of the designer’s humor and sense of magic in the act of illumination. Characterized by their simplicity, weightlessness and humanistic approach to design, Groppi’s pieces exude a pure and minimal philosophy that seeks to enchant with its understated sophistication. Since the end of the eighties, Davide Groppi has designed lamps that he manufactures and distributes all over the world through his company based in Piacenza, Italy – a true poet of light.
