INCONTROLUCE
For once, we switch off the light to illuminate, and switch it on to tell a story.

Lake Como Design Festival 2024
Como, Italy / 2024
On the occasion of Lake Como Design Festival 2024, Davide Groppi light caresses "LIGHT" temporary restaurant curated by the Michelin Star chef Samuel Carugati, hosted at the Serra del Grumello.
A noble structure from the mid-nineteenth century, in iron and cast iron, with windows of great value and full of charm for the particular relationship generated between space and light.

Lightness is the fil ruge of this new event that accompanies the visitor on a widespread journey to discover exhibitions, site-specific installations and special projects in the city of Como and around its lake.

For the temporary restaurant lighting project, we used some of our classics, declining what we call the ‘fundamental states of light’, to create an emotional journey capable of revealing new points of view, surprising angles and details.
The soft and enveloping suggestion of MOON gives a dreamy atmosphere and celebrate the beauty of the place; TeTaTeT, with its direct light, is proposed on the table as an ingredient of the kitchen and as a convivial element; ORIGINE indirect light sculpts and enhances climbing plants of the ficus repens genus. The niches and a basin with water are emphasized by the blue light that generates depth. SAMPEI, in its elegant new outdoor XXL version and new Magic Blue finish, illuminates the threshold of the Greenhouse; BUGIA captures the gaze creating a delicate diffused light on the shelves.

Light becomes a wonderful opportunity to seduce and excite. 
A path to give value to nature, space and light.
