CALVINO, Design Davide Groppi, 2018
CALVINO is a lamp by Davide Groppi that combines technical functionality and material nobility with a profoundly narrative dimension. Rigorous and evocative, it embodies the magic of a poetic gesture capable of illuminating, interpreting, and reinventing space. A sign of style that transcends time with the sculptural strength of its perfect proportions. An object whose elegance arises from the balance between lightness and matter, between light and form.
In 2025 on the occasion of Euroluce, CALVINO is being presented in a new look, a balance in which matter and light complement each other. The new restyling with a marble base enhances its preciousness and refinement: travertine, with its natural luminosity, and intense and sophisticated Verde Alpi marble, transform CALVINO into a small domestic monument, capable of communicating with any space with discreet grandeur.
The mirror, the heart of its identity, becomes a dynamic instrument: oriented in space, it multiplies points of view, reflects, and creates ever-changing atmospheres. Not simply a source of light, but a reflection and a narrative. Marble speaks of monumentality and roots, the mirror of modernity and abstraction.
Light by Davide Groppi, orchestrating the encounter, restores unity and meaning. Where marble defines, light sculpts. Where mirrors dissolve, light amplifies.
