Stilnovo: Design, Flair, and Technology

Stilnovo is a line of designer lamps that entered the scene in the mid-1940s, immediately revealing its strong playful and modern imprint. The product catalog available—both online and in-store—at Casarredo is enriched by some of the company’s most iconic pieces, now part of Linea Light Group.

Stilnovo: The History of Lighting Since 1946

It all begins in Milan in 1946: on June 1, Bruno Gatta decides to found Stilnovo. With perseverance and determination, the brand makes its way into the varied world of design, and in the early 1950s some of its products are featured in the authoritative magazine Domus, dedicated to architecture.

Between the late 1950s and early 1960s, the brand’s rise is tireless: architects and designers with great intuitive and creative value work on various projects, creating icons still available today.

In 1969 the brand image is renewed and the corporate logo changes. In 1972 the Museum of Modern Art in New York hosts two of the company’s signature lamps, Periscopio and Nuvola, by Pietrantoni and Lucci. Subsequently, some creations are exhibited at the Israel Design Museum, the Palais de la Porte Dorée, and the Musée des Arts Décoratifs in Paris. Finally, in 2019, Linea Light Group acquires the brand, helping to cement its presence as a leader in the global production of contemporary, lightweight, and high-performance lamps, thanks to integration with the latest technologies.

Characteristics of Stilnovo Lamps

The strength of Stilnovo lies in combining the mastery of iconic designers from the last century with the technology, flair, and modernity of today’s creative minds. Knowing how to revisit its past, laying solid foundations to build an even brighter future: this is the brand’s philosophy, producing table lamps, floor lamps, pendant lamps, and wall lamps.

These are small, medium, and large design objects whose purpose is simple: to illuminate. What guides the buyer’s choice, however, is everything else: the shape, the lines, and the colors are surprisingly vibrant and fluid. This is what makes the difference—the intrinsic playfulness of a brand that has never aged but, on the contrary, has remained almost outside any specific era while adapting lightly and effortlessly to every context.
