Creating a minimal look in the home can be a challenge. Apart from furniture and décor pieces, lighting also plays a huge role in defining a minimalist ambiance. Clean lines, together with modern and discreet designs, are the main characteristics of our Minimalist Lighting collection. Browse through our curated selection to find the right lighting fixture to complement your minimalist-style space and choose the quality and elegance of Italian craftsmanship, with lighting meticulously handcrafted by some of the finest artisans.

Minimalism emerged as a movement in the visual arts in the 1960s, drawing inspiration from the Bauhaus movement and taking the concept of "form follows function" to new heights with the motto "Less is more." Over the years, minimalist designs have gained increasing popularity. While not universally appealing, this design creates a calm and sophisticated ambience through its simplicity. In minimalist interiors, selecting lighting plays a crucial role in completing the style of the space.

The ideal approach to maintaining minimalism is to prioritize natural light. However, this isn't always possible, so when it comes to artificial lighting, opting for materials like metal and glass is a safe bet. Avoid lights that are overly decorative or intricate and opt for high-performance lights that emit well-balanced illumination. In general, smaller designs are preferable, without compromising on function and light quality, of course. Simple shapes, clean lines, and dramatic angles are the fundamental traits of great design, which can be distilled to its purest form and still make a statement. The essential shape of Laura Meroni's Satellite table lamp, the minimalist aesthetic of Chiara Viale's Iron Corner floor lamp, and the geometric design of Stilnovo's Tablet P2 pendant lamp are just a few examples of pieces in this collection that embody the minimalist style, alongside the quality of Italian craftsmanship.
