Davide Groppi @ EUROLUCE 2023
I like to think of our lamps as small and very simple inventions that thrill and surprise. And each time, the aim of my research is to demonstrate something new, never seen before. These are the sentiments I used to create and select a new collection of lamps.
Post Scriptum:
There is a strange and mysterious relationship between sound and light that has always fascinated me. Perhaps my passion for music comes from that subtle, almost imperceptible bond. All my lamps are somehow connected by a common project, as sometimes happens with musicians and the tracks of their album. So, another way of interpreting the collection is to consider lamps like the unreleased songs on a new album. I like to think that these lamps are not just to look at but are especially to listen to.
Euroluce. The Space.
When I create or select a new lamp, I cannot help thinking about where I will use it, how I will use it, and above all, why. All my lamps, even the new ones, are part of a concrete, design dimension.
In recent years, I have travelled with my body and mind, a continuous roaming with no precise destination. A zig-zag path among straight and dotted lines, prohibitions and freedoms, a constant alternation between intentionality and chance.
The space at Euroluce was therefore designed to represent all these thoughts.
The place of memory, of our classic pieces, of light that caresses and welcomes.
The place of technique and graphics, the expression of our experience.
And finally, the place of experimentation. The new, made of purity, sparkles, transparencies and irony.
Three places in one, a continuous relationship of space and light.
