A unique lamp with a crystal base and a black shade - Il Paralume Marina

The unparalleled synergy of premium raw materials with the highest quality design makes IL PARALUME MARINA a true synonym of the brand.

This Italian company does not produce, but creates. Design and innovation, research and development meet the techniques of master artisans. The combination of brass in the earth, Italian crystal, Murano glass, silk, and organza, topped with Swarovski Elements, leaves no room for compromise. The history of IL PARALUME MARINA began in 1987 when the couple Ferronato-Simoncello founded a small family business based on their shared passion for decorative lighting.

Over the years, their sons Thomas and Simone drove the company forward—Thomas focusing on the international expansion of their products worldwide, and Simone on the high technical standards of the lighting fixtures themselves. In subsequent years, their work elevated PARALUME MARINA to an international signature, and the brand became a symbol of dedication and creativity combined with the finest craftsmanship, exclusively Made in Italy.

The production is based on ancient techniques of brass casting, Italian crystal, Murano glass blowing, and the unique style of hand-sewn lampshades by Mrs. Marina’s workshop. Authentic Swarovski crystal enhances the luminous brilliance of these exceptional elements. Each creation is handcrafted according to the client’s needs.

Marina Paralume specializes in custom-made elements tailored to client wishes and offers a wide range of fabrics, finishes, brass accents, glass colors, as well as crystals to draw inspiration from. This allows clients to choose something unique and one-of-a-kind, created solely by and for them. Architects and designers at IL PARALUME MARINA are available to craft the perfect collection for any interior, from chandeliers to recessed spotlights, curtain rods, and bathroom accessories. The owners take pride in fulfilling every request, whether for private luxurious homes or prestigious hotels. IL PARALUME MARINA’s lighting projects can be admired worldwide.

Passion, dedication, and attention to detail animate Mrs. Marina’s atelier. Modern technologies combine traditional manual processes to produce a completely elite and perfect product, 100% made in Italy. Continuous research and innovation in fabrics and finishes keep Il Paralume Marina at the forefront of custom design. Brass casting in the earth is an ancient art that still excites. Die casting creates objects of perfection and top quality, synonymous with luxury and elegance, exclusively in Italy. We cast metal, transforming architects’ and designers’ ideas into exclusive objects—from prototypes and molds to finished products.

The master artisans, who pass down the ancient Murano glassmaking craft, guarantee high-quality products and unquestionable craftsmanship. Fully handcrafted production and sophisticated techniques make each item unique. The experience of these masters forms the basis for creating contemporary furniture and emotional objects. Marina’s lampshades are renowned for their excellent quality and flexibility in meeting the demands of the ever-changing international market. Crystal is proudly Italian. It is produced by melting raw materials in special furnaces at high temperatures above 1400°C, using the highest quality raw materials, resulting in a product with over 24% PbO, which gives it undeniable brightness and transparency. Crystal processing is done by hand; it is mouth-blown and engraved entirely by hand, making each piece a “work of art.”

Every project is a challenge that the company approaches with seriousness and passion, dedicated to the client and obsessively attentive to detail. Marina Paralume, with its experience and in-house team of designers and engineers, guarantees exclusive service to professionals seeking decorative lighting solutions, offering stylistic, technical, and economic alternatives tailored to client wishes.
