Tommaso Cimini

Italian designer Tommaso Cimini (1930–1997) is known as an uncompromising visionary in the world of lighting design. His career took a decisive turn in the 1970s when he created the minimalist Daphine lamp – a refined and technically innovative design that embodies his simple yet revolutionary philosophy: form follows function. Now part of the collection of Lumina, the company Cimini later founded, the Daphine shows his ability to merge profound material knowledge with craftsmanship and technical ingenuity. This is a combination that forever changed the way lighting design is understood.
