The timeless charm of lights
Contardi pays homage to elegance and superior lighting performance through its distinguished collections: Coco, Circus, Ovale, and Tonda. These items, regarded as true ‘timeless classics,’ serve as understated yet essential elements that seamlessly integrate into any setting, much like a perfectly tailored white shirt.
The collections embody a classic and sophisticated aesthetic, characterized by clean lines, monochromatic tones, and a refined design that transcends time. Contardi’s ‘Classics’ do not simply revisit the past; they are continually revitalized through a masterful blend of tradition and modernity.
Coco, Circus, Ovale, and Tonda establish a continuous interplay between tradition and modernity, catering to the requirements of contemporary lifestyles.
Circus designed by Contardi Studio, 2006
Circus is the quintessence of simplicity in lamp design: an essential yet striking furnishing accessory. Synonymous with discreet elegance and superior lighting performance, this lamp incorporates innovative technologies such as the diffuser disc, mounted on a harmonic wire, which fits perfectly to eliminate unwanted shadows on the illuminated surface. Inside, 3 or 4 bulbs close to the lampshade ensure optimal lighting performance, enhanced in the LED version for greater power and energy efficiency.

Coco designed by Frédéric Sicard & Tristan Auer, 2009
Coco embodies the simple, sophisticated elegance its name evokes. With a polished nickel frame and beveled mirror, its design offers a refined silhouette, while Coconette is distinguished by a light matt brushed bronze finish. Both diffuse light through fabric lampshades on three sides. The Mini version, which features IP44, the ideal degree of protection against splashes and moisture, is ideal for bathrooms, with a waterproof fabric shade and protected light source. The Deluxe version, enhanced in some details with lampshades on four sides, offers a warm and enveloping light.

Tonda and Ovale desiged by Contardi Studio, 2019
Tonda and Ovale stand for Contardi’s timeless elegance, with a lampshade of simple yet refined design. The circular base and clean lines blend harmoniously with any environment, bringing a distinctive and sophisticated touch of style. The luminous proposals triumph in their simplicity, but at the same time establish themselves as the most elegant decorative choice, like a white shirt created by the hands of an expert tailor.
