Seduction <\/strong> and emotion <\/strong> underlie the projects of designer Davide Groppi<\/strong>, who has the extreme ability to use light as a weapon to “write anagrams, words and stories. The design and imagination behind each work are sartorially defined, as each situation needs a different light that can adapt to the variety of environments.<\/p>\n

For the designer, the mantra to follow is to “always be consistent, but always different” in order to create lamps that reach the heart and brain, serving four primal elements: simplicity<\/strong>, lightness<\/strong>, emotion<\/strong> and invention<\/strong>.
\nAll the lamps made have a strong personality<\/strong> and are the result of numerous intuitive experiments that lead to inventing novel suggestions for each place, to give shape to a need or a meaning.
\nDavide Groppi puts in first place the humanistic element that allows us to see and feel people and spaces, to highlight meeting places through the ability of light to become the bearer of mystery, depth<\/strong> and seduction.<\/strong>
\nThe dialogue with light, which began in a small workshop in Piacenza in the 1980s, led him to realize his own dreams, which – among many – are called “Nulla<\/strong>” and “Sampei<\/strong>,” with which the artist won two Compasso d’Oro awards.
\n“Nothing” is a work that focuses on the theme of subtraction, in which light is investigated and presented as invisible, without a source. The result is that of a magical and illusory project.
\n“Sampei,” on the other hand, stems from the desire to put light on the ground or on the table and brings back to the slow, swaying movement of a blade of grass in the wind.
\nThe ability to propose suggestions and emotions, through the use of light in its purest form, makes Davide Groppi <\/strong> a true artist<\/strong> capable of creating aesthetically functional<\/strong> design items that can be adapted<\/strong> to a wide variety of environments.<\/p>\n
