Contardi
Contardi is a young company with a long history. The first Contardi Lighting product launched in 2006, and the brand has grown steadily since then. Based in the Brianza district, the beating heart of “Made in Italy” manufacturing, Contardi has become a respected international reference for decorative and functional lighting.
Before establishing its own brand, Contardi spent over 30 years collaborating with some of the most iconic Italian design companies. The story began with Michele Carcano, a creative mind with a passion for prototypes, who worked with Stilnovo. Today, Michele’s heirs, Achille and Paola Carcano, lead the company alongside a dedicated team. Many members have been part of Contardi since its inception, making the business feel like a family as much as a company.
Known worldwide as the “Couturier of Contemporary Lighting,” Contardi Lighting stands out for its sartorial approach. Products are defined by elegance, craftsmanship, and the finest materials, combined with cutting-edge LED technology. Every design reflects an ability to blend style with substance, ensuring each luminaire is as functional as it is beautiful.
Contardi embraces eclecticism as a strength. The brand collaborates with international designers who anticipate trends in residential and hospitality design. This variety of styles does not mean a lack of identity, but rather an ability to adapt. Contardi creates cohesive designs that respond to the philosophies of architects and the needs of clients while remaining recognisable and timeless.
Every Contardi Lighting product is proudly Made in Italy. The vitality, passion, and culture of the country are evident in every design. Products are instantly recognisable yet always contemporary, unaffected by fleeting trends. This timeless quality ensures Contardi remains a trusted partner for architects, interior decorators, and lighting consultants worldwide.
Functionality is at the core of Contardi Lighting. Decorative fixtures are designed with a clear purpose, whether for indoor or outdoor use. The outdoor collection, for example, carries the elegance of interior design into exterior spaces while meeting the highest standards of durability. With marine-grade finishes and IP65 protection, these luminaires combine beauty with performance.
Choosing Contardi means choosing design that unites elegance, versatility, and reliability—lighting that is both timeless and functional.
