Catellani & Smith

Catellani & Smith – Handcrafted Light Art from Italy

Catellani & Smith stands for exceptional lighting objects that combine design, emotion, and craftsmanship at the highest level. Since its founding by Enzo Catellani in 1989, the Italian manufactory near Bergamo has been creating luminaires that go far beyond mere illumination: they are works of art that shape spaces, create moods, and become unmistakable through their characteristic lighting effect.
Each luminaire is meticulously handcrafted – using materials such as gold leaf, silver, copper, or structured metal surfaces. This combination of artistic idea and precise manufacturing makes Catellani & Smith one of the most fascinating brands in international lighting design.

Design & Technology

• 100% Manufacturing Work from Italy
  Each luminaire is meticulously handcrafted – from bending wires and applying sheet metals to final assembly.

• Noble Materials & Unique Surfaces
  Characteristic features include gold leaf, silver effect, copper, patina surfaces, aluminum structures, or modeled surface effects, which make each luminaire appear like a work of art.

• Unmistakable Lighting Effect
  Through reflective metals, organic forms, and targeted light refraction, Catellani & Smith luminaires create warm, atmospheric, and at times almost magical lighting moods.

• Iconic Design Series
  World-renowned collections include:

  • Luce d’Oro – warm gold tones, soft reflections, poetic light

  • Fil de Fer – sculptural wire spheres full of lightness

  • Stchu-Moon – hand-modeled metal surfaces that dramatically stage light

  • PostKrisi – colored, hand-formed shades with artistic texture

  • Turciù – flexible, almost playful light objects with deformable arms
