DAVIDE GROPPI
A STORY OF LAMPS.Lamps that are simple, light, unique, pure, essential. Sometimes magical. Lamps designed to give depth to the space we live in, or simply to create light. Since the 80's Davide Groppi has designed lamps to fulfil this philosophy from his base in Piacenza. The basic components of Davide Groppi design are simplicity, lightness, emotion and invention. A voyage inside the etherealness of light. From the lightbulb to the quest for a light without source. To be simply enveloped in welcoming light. Infinito: essence and absence. A thin strip made of stainless steel a mere 18 mm in width “cuts” the space to produce indirect light.It is possible to adapt Infinito to various situations, stretching it from wall to wall or ceiling to floor, according to one’s taste or needs. It comes in strips up to 12 m in length. The Infinito and Flash projects are all part of a system. It’s a system that breaks down the actual lamp and light source, turning it into something else, leaving only a trace, a line and then not even that. It becomes, finally, a concept: light only.
