Information

Carlo Cracco’s New Restaurant in Milan, Italy - 2018 Carlo Cracco has got a new restaurant located in Galleria Vittorio Emanuele. It pays homage to Milano, a crossroads of culture between food and art. It is classic and modern at the same time. A grey and blue “Boiserie” leads to three rooms and two private rooms on the first floor. These spaces have been carefully arranged so as to express their full, hidden value. The “Fumoir” inside the restaurant sports showy walls that have been covered with a moss green metal mesh. The wine cellar is expertly stocked and particularly pleasing to the eye. It is furnished with display cases of fir wood surrounded by lacquered red walls. The “Bistrot” on the ground floor is a meeting place, strongly steeped in history. To illuminate the various spaces, we resorted to “photo-graphy”, that is to say the utilisation of light to tell a story. It is modern - ultra-modern - lighting in very classical clothing. There’s light on the tables, in the entranceways an along the corridors. The lights themselves are subtle, hidden, remote, except for the battery-powered table lights and the silk lampshades on the walls. Everything has been conceived with a sense of equilibrium, balancing direct and diffused light. It’s the light of encounters, of conversations, of silent glances. Lamps TeTaTeT DOT P DOT PL NULLA
Davide GroppiIt 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. Creative independence and passionate, unconventional management have allowed him, over time, to develop his own brand of original and unique products, currently distributed the world over. Simplicity, weightlessness, emotion, creative invention and amazement are the fundamental components of each lamp or lighting project designed by Davide Groppi. Davide Groppi creations come about through the need to give life to something that is necessary or significant. The things that inspire these ideas are works of art, ready made objects, magic, the desire to make things with his hands or simply the urge to play and have fun with light. Light, for Davide Groppi, is a wonderful way to seduce and excite. He has always worked with a faithful group of collaborators who share his vision and help him to develop ideas and bring them to fruition. Over the course of many years of experience, Davide Groppi has developed products and shows in collaboration with companies specialising in design such as De Padova, Boffi, Paola Lenti and Christofle. There have been many international projects the world over, including the illumination of houses, stores and museums. Davide Groppi has been particularly active in the area of hospitality (hotels and restaurants). Some of the most famous chefs in the world have chosen lighting solutions by Davide Groppi for their venues, including Albert Adrià, Massimo Bottura, Massimiliano Alajmo, Moreno Cedroni, Carlo Cracco, Gennaro Esposito, Giancarlo Perbellini, Ciccio Sultanoand others. Davide Groppi has also recognised for excellence by the press and received prestigious awards, including the Edida Award, in 2011, for the Sampei lamp; the Design Plus Award, in 2014, for the Neuro lamp; the two awards at the 23rd edition of the ADI Compasso d’Oro Awards for the Nulla lamp and for the Sampei lamp; the ADI Compasso d’Oro Mention of Honour upon our rechargeable lamp Tetatet in 2016. The ADI Compasso d’Oro Award is considered the oldest and most prestigious recognition for design in the world. From June 2019, Sampei lights up the ‘Studio alla Vetrata’, one of the President of the Republic’s offices, as part of the “Quirinale Contemporaneo” project.
