Founded in the late 1980s, Davide Groppi is an Italian lighting company recognised for the production of original and unique products distributed the world over, in which simplicity, weightlessness, emotion, creative invention and amazement are the fundamental ingredients. Making light is not just a technical gesture, it is getting closer to people on a more personal and intimate level. The lighting solutions Davide Groppi invents every day are his language to seduce and excite. Lamps are like the letters of an alphabet used to write anagrams, words and stories of light. Davide Groppi work obtained prestigious international awards and became part of the permanent collections of important design museums.

Lighting plays a fundamental role in shaping an emotional journey, revealing new perspectives, unexpected angles, and intricate details. Davide Groppi’s solutions offer the freedom to compose light within a space, creating dynamic and atmospheric environments. During 3daysofdesign at File Under Pop, the fundamental states of light—direct, indirect, and diffuse—are explored to define pathways, highlight key areas, and enhance spatial functions. Each lamp and project carries a unique narrative, where light becomes a tool for seduction, emotion, and storytelling—illuminating both space and experience.
