Catellani & Smith Partner – Decorative Lighting

Catellani & Smith is an Italian brand specializing in the creation of both standard and custom lighting solution

Enzo Catellani, manager of a lighting store, founded Catellani & Smith in 1989 in Villa di Serio, in the province of Bergamo. The company started almost as a game, with the presentation of a prototype signed Logan Smith—a pseudonym inspired by the name of the entrepreneur’s horse—at the Frankfurt Environmental Fair. Thanks to the extraordinary success from the very beginning, Catellani devoted himself entirely to designing lamps, most often custom-made, for his clients.

Signature lamps

For over 30 years, Catellani & Smith has captivated both the public and professionals with iconic creations such as the Macchina della Luce and Fil de Fer, regularly awarded at international exhibitions.

Fil de Fer is a lamp made of shaped and braided aluminum wire, illuminated by delicate small bulbs placed inside.

Created by Enzo Catellani, it is one of his most cherished works. Designed nearly twenty years ago for a special commission, it was ultimately not used for that project and remained hanging in his workshop. Each time it was lit, it captivated with its magic and originality. Enchanted by this magic, Enzo Catellani continued to refine it. Today, Fil de Fer is marketed and has become the iconic emblem of the Catellani & Smith collection.

I started building my lamps without knowing if I would ever sell them. The success was immediate, sudden, and unexpected. I didn’t even know how to produce them on a larger scale. That’s how Catellani & Smith was born—almost by chance.

The discs, in warm and soft colors, house an ultra-thin LED module, providing an efficient and discreet light source. This technology allows for the creation of very slender lamps with suspended shapes featuring curved, sinuous lines that bring an airy elegance to any interior. Thanks to an innovative design combining lightness and sophistication, Lederam adapts perfectly to both contemporary spaces and warmer, cozier atmospheres. Every element is designed to blend aesthetics and functionality, offering soft, adjustable lighting that enhances your rooms while respecting the environment through low energy consumption.

The "Lederam" lighting fixture embodies the precision of a deliberate gesture—the act of drawing a perfect line
