We aren’t satisfied by simply making good lights. We want be the creators of good lighting: light that shines in a room, a house, a building, a museum, a cathedral, a company, a plaza, an airport, and, yes... even an entire city. Good lighting has to be created with the awareness that it has to integrate with its environment, taking care not to invade it, darken it, or violate it. Light must be respected, and light has to, in turn, respect the nature of people and things. The iGuzzini mission is therefore to study light, to know light and to make it known; improving the integration with architecture through industrial design. Because of this, a large part of what we do is to offer consultation on lighting techniques, both in the design phase and as an after-sales service.

We have worked in and for “light” since 1958. This was the year when the Harvey Creazioni, a small company that produced lamps for the home, was founded. Today we are the leading Italian manufacturer in the “Lighting” market, and we rank among the top European manufacturers.
Art enriches the soul and promotes Culture. The many places where art is protagonist have traditionally been at the centre of iGuzzini's attention, as proved by the collection of projects illustrated in this catalogue. Museums and exhibitions areas operate to favour artistic and cultural development. Both permanent and temporary exhibitions collect and preserve artworks that are exhibited to the public to communicate their history and meaning. In this approach, light plays a fundamental role: it allows for best enjoyment, exalts the expressive potential of artworks and exhibition settings, valorises and protects the exhibits while respecting their original spirit and ensuring their preservation.
