The story of the brand Contardi began in 2006, when their first product saw the light of day. Since then, the company has dynamically developed, establishing itself as one of the leading lighting brands "Made in Italy".
30 Years of Experience in the Contardi Industry
Before Contardi began to shape its own vision of lighting, the rich history of the company was based on 30 years of successful collaboration with the most recognized firms in the Italian design scene, such as B&B Italia. The brand originates from Italy, drawing from the tradition of Italian design, which translates into exceptional quality, luxury, and style. Its founders say of themselves, "Our role as a provider of lighting knowledge has made us an integral part of projects that defined new standards in the industry. In this fascinating development of our company, a key figure was the creative genius Michele Carcano." In the brand's offering, you will find Contardi lamps that perfectly fit both interiors maintained in a modern, as well as glamour or boho style. Contardi lamps are synonymous with luxurious, high-quality lighting that stands out with elegant design, meticulous craftsmanship, and the use of modern technologies and materials, including pastel colors. The brand combines long-standing design traditions with modern and functional forms, and its products are valued by architects, decorators, and lighting consultants around the world.
Michele Carcano, a prototype enthusiast, worked for Stilnovo, one of the pioneering companies that significantly contributed to shaping the reputation of contemporary lighting designers. His vision and skills influenced the development of our company, giving it a unique character and allowing us to embark on our own creative path. Contardi has collaborated with prestigious brands such as Giorgio Armani, B&B Italia, and Giorgetti, highlighting its luxurious character and position in the international market. Today, the heirs of this passion, Achille and Paola Carcano, continue the tradition, introducing new, innovative solutions to the world of lighting design while honoring the legacy initiated by Michele Carcano. The company is known for its design approach – focusing on innovation, attention to detail, handcrafted execution, and the use of modern LED technologies. Among the numerous projects of the brand, one can easily find outstanding decorative lighting, as well as classic pendant lamps, floor lamps, or wall sconces. Contardi lamps are available worldwide, and the company has a rich history of collaboration with renowned interior designers and architects. Many Contardi lamps are handcrafted by experienced artisans, ensuring the highest quality and attention to detail. Contardi products are often used in luxury hotels, restaurants, and yachts. The offering includes various types of lamps: ceiling, pendant, table, floor, and outdoor, and collaboration with interior designers and architects guarantees the uniqueness and exclusivity of lighting solutions.
