Handcrafted Italian Lighting for Modern Interiors

Founded in 1975 in Tuscany, Stillux blends Italian artisanal tradition with contemporary design to create lighting that is both functional and ornamental. Each lamp is a carefully crafted object, where high-quality materials, hand-applied finishes, and hand-blown glass converge to illuminate spaces with elegance and emotional depth. From chandeliers to table lamps, Stillux designs transform light into a sensory experience for residential and commercial interiors alike.

Established in 1975 in the heart of Tuscany by Marco and Lucia Innocenti, Stillux is a brand that does not compromise when it comes to the quality and durability of its lighting products. Unconcerned about short-term trends, Stillux’s creative philosophy focuses on elegant, progressive design coupled with high-grade materials and innovative production methods, resulting in timeless collections of chandeliers, wall, pendant, and table lamps. Recognizable for their sophisticated style, Stillux pieces are suitable for commercial and residential interiors.

How would you define the distinctive style of your lamps?
The style can be described as contemporary decorative design—a balance between elegance and timelessness. Each piece is designed not only as a source of light but also as a furnishing element capable of defining and enhancing the space it occupies.

How does the design of your creations manage to be both ornamental and functional?
Stillux achieves this balance through a design philosophy that merges the elegance of Made in Italy with careful attention to practicality and light as a sensory experience.

Each lamp is born from the combination of artisanal tradition and contemporary stylistic research. Refined forms enrich the environment as true decorative objects, while their thoughtful engineering guarantees exceptional luminous performance.

  • Metal and brass structures, hand-blown glass, and refined finishes are not just decorative—they are tools to shape light, creating evocative and welcoming atmospheres.
  • Modular and custom solutions allow each piece to adapt to a variety of spaces while maintaining harmony between style and function.
  • Modern technologies, including integrated LED sources, allow control over light intensity and color temperature, meeting contemporary needs without compromising elegance and sophistication.

With Stillux, light becomes design, and design becomes a sensory and functional experience within the space.

Which artisanal techniques are fundamental to your creative process?
Artisanal techniques are at the heart of Stillux’s creative process. They represent not only a treasured Italian heritage but also a fundamental tool to create unique, refined, and timeless designs. Key techniques include:

  • Manual metalworking: Metal is cut, bent, welded, and finished by hand, enabling creative freedom and ensuring the uniqueness of each product—something industrial processes cannot replicate.
  • Hand-applied finishes: Gold leaf, silver leaf, and fine galvanic treatments give character and individuality to every lamp; no two are identical.
  • Glassblowing: Glass has always been the soul of Stillux. Hand-blown forms allow soft, imperfect, poetic shapes that diffuse light with sophistication. This ancient craft is continuously reinterpreted in a modern context.
  • Assembly and quality control: Every component is manually assembled by skilled artisans. Final inspections are meticulous, ensuring that each lamp meets the brand’s exacting aesthetic and functional standards.

In essence, artisanal techniques are not merely an added value—they are the essence of Stillux, transforming an idea into a luminous object that delivers both visual and emotional impact.
