Strikingly unusual forms make the contemporary lighting from Studio Italia Design truly out of the ordinary. Curvy, bold, and asymmetrical – there is a contemporary lighting design to suit everyone.

The delicate Lace lighting (suspension version pictured here) is likewise easy to match, and features charming glass applications on the clear crystal diffuser. If you prefer lighting which demands to be a focal point, the sensational Bellisima combines convex diffusers in amber and red glass, plus concave diffusers in milk-white. The Tris range echoes the shape of the Trilogy lighting, but additionally provides an option with red, milk-white and black satin glass teamed together in an arresting combination. With modern, coordinating contemporary lighting that can be wall or ceiling mounted; or free-standing on the floor or a table, the wide range from Studio Italia Design could have just what you have been searching for.
