Since the end of the eighties, starting from a very small laboratory in the historic center of Piacenza, Davide Groppi has been inventing and producing lamps with the homonymous brand. Over time, creative and entrepreneurial independence has allowed him to develop original and recognizable projects, distributed all over the world. Projects that come from the heart and the brain, intuitions that emerge from a certain way of being and thinking, where simplicity, lightness, emotion, invention and amazement are the fundamental elements.

Davide Groppi's lamps are born from the need to give shape to a need or a meaning. His inspirations are art, ready-mades, magic, the desire to make things with your hands or simply the desire to play and joke with light. Davide Groppi has always worked with a close-knit group of collaborators, with whom he shares all the ideas. During his many years of activity, Davide Groppi has developed projects and installations together with various design companies including: De Padova, Boffi, Paola Lenti and Christofle. There are countless jobs around the world: homes, shops, museums. Davide Groppi's work has been repeatedly recognized through publications and awards. We recall the Edida prize, in 2011, for the Sampei lamp; the Design Plus Award, in 2014, for the Neuro lamp; the double XXIII ADI Compasso d'Oro, in 2014, for the Nulla and Sampei lamps; the ADI Compasso d'Oro Honorable Mention in Tetatet, in 2016. The ADI Compasso d'Oro award is considered the most historic and prestigious design award in the world. From June 2019, Sampei lights up the Studio alla Vetrata of the President of the Republic, as part of the "Quirinale Contemporaneo" project.
