“While dad was giving a shape to light, I was learning how to shape a company” Achille Carcano, Owner

Internationally renowned as the “Couturier of Contemporary Lighting”, we have earned this reputation over the years for our skilful sartorial approach, for the variety of materials used, as well as the elegance of the finishes combined with the most innovative LED technology, all designed to ensure that the quality of the lighting responds to contemporary requirements.

“We do not create lights with design around. It is interior design with a light shining inside” Massimiliano Raggi, Art Director

Who says that decorative lighting does not illuminate? Not Contardi. Our aim today is to create products which are aesthetically pleasing and functional at the same time. Fundamental to this is defining the “intended use” of a luminaire and determining the main function the lamp has been conceived for.

A clear example of this blend is our outdoor collection, which has been receiving a growing amount of attention over recent years. We at Contardi interpret the outdoor collection as a way to bring the interior design to the open-air. The idea is to keep the same decorative and qualitative characteristics of the indoor products without forgetting the pragmatic aspect, specifically the intended use. The use of high-quality decorative materials and fabrics is successfully combined with finishes and regulations required for the highest standards, such as the IP65 and the "Marine Grade".

Contardi is represented by its official agent Design-Link in Turkey since January 2019.
