About us
Where tradition meets technology—designed for spaces that matter.
Who we are?
Based in Europe, with roots in both Italy and Romania, we are a design and engineering studio dedicated to creating custom, made-to-order wooden lighting. Every piece is handcrafted in-house, from raw wood to final assembly, combining innovation with craftsmanship and a deeply personal approach to design.
Our skills
What If Light Could Speak Your Style?
Every project begins with a choice, either from our curated collection of signature models or through a direct conversation that starts with your own ideas.
Our online catalogue features a refined selection of handcrafted lighting pieces, each designed to offer a perfect balance of form, function, and material warmth.
These pieces can be tailored to your needs by selecting different woods (such as walnut, beech, or mahogany), finishes, light temperatures (warm, neutral, or cool), cable lengths, and control systems (including dimming or smart options).
If you’re seeking something beyond the standard options, whether you’re an interior designer, architect, or private customer, you can contact us to start a custom design path. This process begins with understanding your spatial needs, aesthetic preferences, and functional goals. You might bring a sketch, a material palette, or just a mood you’re aiming for. From there, we co-develop a solution that integrates seamlessly into your project, whether it’s for a private residence, a hospitality setting, or a commercial space. Our team combines creative sensibility and technical precision to develop each lighting concept with care and purpose.
We believe in close dialogue: no two projects are ever the same, and that’s exactly what drives us.
“No two pieces of wood are alike, neither are the people we design for.”
how we build it?
Once design is chosen/finalised, the entire process of bringing it to life takes place in-house. From the first cut to the final test before shipping, every stage happens within our production facility, where engineering and craftsmanship come together.
We work with high-quality solid woods, selected for their character and certified European origin. Each component is milled using advanced Italian CNC machinery, capable of executing complex geometries with absolute precision. Our 5-axis machining center allows us to go beyond simple cutting.
But machines alone don’t build atmosphere. Every product is hand-finished by skilled artisans who sand, oil, lacquer, or paint each piece according to the selected finish. Our coatings are durable, formaldehyde-free, and available in fire-retardant and eco-friendly options upon request. The electrical components (high-end LEDs, drivers, and control units) are selected for their performance and reliability, then carefully integrated into the structure. We also collaborate with experts in smart control systems and home automation to deliver products ready for contemporary living environments.
Each light undergoes a full testing and quality control phase to ensure optimal performance before leaving our workshop. We package each piece with the same attention we give to its production, ensuring it arrives safely and ready to install. While lead times may vary depending on the complexity of the project, our production remains focused on quality, detail, and durability, not speed. We believe the result is worth the wait.
Every order is made to order. This approach allows us to avoid mass production, reduce waste, and ensure that each piece we create reflects both our values and your vision.

In-House Engineering & Testing
From design to performance checks, every step is done internally. Our team ensures precision, reliability, and seamless integration of components—so your lighting works flawlessly and looks exceptional.
Sustainability
We design responsibly using FSC® certified wood, non-toxic finishes, and high-efficiency LEDs. Each piece is made to order—never mass produced—to reduce waste and ensure longevity. From sourcing to packaging, every detail reflects our commitment to a greener, more thoughtful approach to contemporary design.
