CATELLANI & SMITH

The story of this brand began more than 25 years ago when Enzo Catellani, who was already a known name in the field of lighting solutions, met Logan Smith. The two decided to lay the foundations of a company that soon became famous worldwide, owing to the creativity that the two associates displayed in their product design, but also because of their focus on quality.

Catellani states: „"When I create a lamp, I always start off with a prototype. My lab is actually a workshop where I continuously collect various materials, components and objects. This is where all my creations are born: I assemble, weld, shape them, I have to feel the texture of the materials and how light plays with them when it falls on them or passes through. At this stage, I would not say that I think about the design, but the idea can immediately take a palpable shape, by transforming into an object itself. From this point onward, I move to the next steps of the creative process: feasibility, technical characteristics and so on. I believe that Catellani & Smith products embody very well the concept of light... and then the craftsman's hand is the one that gives them that unique appearance, created by the inherent imperfections."
