Contardi

Contardi was founded in 1978 by Michele Carcano and his wife, Maria Contardi, whose name the company carries. In 2006 their children, Achille and Paola Carcano, built on that artisan workshop to create Contardi Lighting, now an international brand still led by the family.

Based in Brianza, the heartland of Italian furniture and lighting manufacturing, Contardi calls itself a “couturier of light”. The name fits: its decorative lighting is tailored and finely finished, bringing together considered design and the hand skills of its workshop.
