Have all the light you need to win the dark
"We are not making lamps, we are creating light."
——Catellani&Smith founder Enzo Catellan
Among the star-studded Italian lighting brands, Catellani&Smith is one of the most unique and challenging design challenges. This luminaire company, known worldwide for its hand-made creative lighting, was founded in 1989 by the Italian designer Enzo Catellani.
So who is Smith? The full name of "TA", Logan Smith, is said to be the architect of the Great Britain Racecourse, but in fact, this is just a love horse of Enzo Catellani. This gentleman with a humorous personality has a special idea for designing this matter.
Enzo Catellani loves nature and sees people's commonplace things with a playful viewing angle, which sparks endless inspiration. With the love of the world, you can create amazing lighting, and with these beautiful lights, the environment can be creative and inspiring, while allowing people to enjoy it.
Catellani&Smith never follows any patterns or rules and has pure thoughts and passion for design. Curiosity is the source of power for free creativity and breaking obstacles. Any subtle whimsy can be magnified freely.
The avant-garde pioneer's attempts are encouraged, with a variety of styles, dramatic appearances, and Catellani&Smith's products appeal to people who love creativity, art and desire to subvert boring people. The British V&A Art Museum, the French Intercontinental Hotel, foreign famous private houses, and art clubs have all made reservations for custom lamps.
Catellani&Smith designed lighting for the casual Ristorante' of the internationally renowned Michelin chef Enrico Bartolini. Beautiful and minimalist lamps balance the brightness and shadows, and complement the interior design with natural materials. There are more exciting cooperation between business and home. Based on the perfect integration with diverse spaces, Catellani & Smith still maintains its own distinct personality and becomes a shining star in the space.
In addition to the fascinating design of Catellani&Smith, the craft is also a highlight that cannot be ignored. Enzo Catellani knows the value of craftsmanship: each of our products comes from the hands of craftsmen and may not be perfect, but it is precisely because of this that it is unique.
When creating a lamp, he always starts with the prototype, constantly feeling a variety of materials in the studio, feeling every part, material, structure, source... imagine how they should be used. The lighting from Catellani & Smith is more than just the lighting itself, and every piece is comparable to fine art.
Widely used materials are glass, fiberglass and various metals (iron, brass, aluminum alloy, bronze). Frequently used precious metals such as gold and silver in surface treatment, which are infinite in the hands of skilled craftsmen. Unique texture, beautiful lines, and high aesthetic value.
Artisans manually insert gold and silver wires into the lamp, or carve gold and silver into leaf-shaped discs, or engrave the metal pages into huge domes. Catellani&Smith products also offer a wide range of options, all of which can be customized to meet the individual needs of the user.
The most iconic lighting fixture in the Catellani & Smith brand is the "Fil de Fer" series of chandeliers. "Fil de Fer" is made of braided aluminum wire and lit by an internal small bulb. Every time you switch, you will be intoxicated by everyone with its special magical atmosphere.
The production of "PostKrisi Chandelier" lamps reflects the infinite creativity of the Catellani & Smith brand. The golden light of the sun and the flames provided the designer with concrete inspiration. After reflecting the theory of light refraction, this "PostKrisi Chandelier" lamp came into being.
As a series of products in the brand, "Lederam" reflects the accuracy and technicality required to create curved thin-walled lamps. The warm, soft colored disk surrounds an ultra-flat-shaped LED module, and the "Lederam Manta S2" chandelier creates an elegant and minimalist style for the overall space.
The luminaires are made up of light bulbs, and Catellani & Smith's light-making lights create all the light needed to win the darkness.
In 2019, Catellani & Smith imported the Home Aesthetics Museum through EG Yase, and met with the first space of Baoneng. It will surely bring infinite surprises and impressions to more enthusiasm for art and love of light. At present, the EG Space Aesthetics Center has started renovations, and we look forward to exploring the beauty of life and art with you in the future.
