DAVIDE GROPPI

The Davide Groppi story embodies the most distinctive traits of Italian excellence. The company was founded in the late 1980s in a small workshop in the center of Piacenza. In a stimulating and vital context, founder Davide Groppi began producing lamps and inventing lighting solutions. Right from the start, the designer was noted for his original creations; his goal was to illuminate rooms, create light sources with character, and tell a story. Davide Groppi products soon gained notice, and the company became a trusted partner of leading players in the field of design, collaborating with De Padova, Boffi, Paola Lenti, and Christofle. As the years passed, the company's reach grew even further. Davide Groppi products are used in homes, stores, museums, the hospitality sector, and for outdoor lighting. Davide Groppi has played a leading role in numerous national and international projects. The company's work ranges from illuminating rigidly structured contexts like churches and places of worship to spaces where creativity is promoted in all forms like museums, cultural centers, and private homes. Davide Groppi fixtures can be found at the Royal Castle of Moncalieri and the museum in the former Church of Sant'Agostino in Piacenza. The Davide Groppi name is also linked to renowned star chefs. Collaborations with Massimo Bottura, Carlo Cracco, Massimiliano Alajmo, Moreno Cedroni, and Giancarlo Perbellini have led to the installation of the company's fixtures in some of the most exclusive restaurants around.
