The Davide Groppi brand was born in the late 1980s in a small laboratory in Piacenza, Italy. Choosing his own name as the brand, Davide Groppi quickly developed a globally recognized design philosophy by combining creativity and freedom in his initial lamp designs. His designs emphasize simplicity, lightness, emotional connection, invention, and evoking wonder. Each product aims to add an artistic touch to living spaces rather than merely being a lighting solution. Drawing inspiration from works of art, found objects, and the desire to play with light, Davide Groppi offers a unique approach to the world of design.
For Davide Groppi, light is not just a tool for illumination but a magical force that evokes emotions and breathes life into spaces. The brand’s products illuminate homes, stores, museums, and restaurants worldwide. Particularly impactful in the gastronomy and hospitality sectors, Davide Groppi's designs are favored by world-renowned chefs like Albert Adrià, Massimo Bottura, and Carlo Cracco. Each design brings aesthetics and functionality to its environment, offering users an unforgettable experience.
Davide Groppi distinguishes itself in the design world with its prestigious awards. Innovative designs like NULLA, SAMPEI, ANIMA, and TeTaTeT have been honored with Compasso d’Oro ADI Awards. The SAMPEI and VIS À VIS lamps have also achieved great success at the Edida Awards. These accolades demonstrate the brand's leadership in not only aesthetics but also functional and innovative designs. Additionally, the SAMPEI and ORIGINE lamps have been displayed in prominent Italian landmarks such as the Quirinale Palace and Palazzo Borromeo, showcasing the brand’s cultural and artistic value.
In 2018, Davide Groppi joined the Dexelance S.p.A. group, further strengthening its presence in international markets.
