DAVIDE GROPPI
It all started in a small laboratory in the historical centre of the Italian town of Piacenza during the late 1980s. Davide Groppi was inventing and producing his first lamps and decided simply to use his own name for the name of the company.
Simplicity, weightlessness, emotion, creative invention and amazement are the fundamental ingredients of each lamp or lighting project designed by Davide Groppi. His creations are inspired by works of art, magic, ready-made objects and the desire to make things with his hands or simply the urge to play and have fun with light.
Over the course of many years, Davide Groppi has developed products, projects and shows in collaboration with companies specialising in design. There have also been many international projects worldwide, including the residential, stores, museums, and hospitality. Some of the most famous chefs have chosen lighting solutions by Davide Groppi for their venues.
Davide Groppi has been recognized for excellence by the press and received prestigious awards, including the Edida Award, in 2011and in 2024; the Design Plus Award in 2014; the double 23rd Compasso d’Oro ADI Award; the 28th Compasso d'Oro ADI Award and 24th Mention of Honour Compasso d’Oro ADI and 28th Mention of Honour Compasso d'Oro. ADI Compasso d’Oro Award is considered the oldest and most prestigious recognition for design in the world.

The result was a groundbreaking, small, and technically advanced spotlight that seamlessly blended form and function. Encouraged by the success of this initial project, Jan saw the potential for a business dedicated to creating lighting system solution for museums.
