A unique vase made of Italian hand-cut crystal with a delicate matte bamboo pattern - Il Paralume Marina

The original raw material correlation combined with the highest quality design gives us the synonym of the IL PARALUME MARINA manufactory.

This Italian company does not produce, but creates. Design and innovation, research and development meet the techniques of master craftsmen. 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 workshop based on a shared passion for decorative lighting.

Over the years, their sons Thomas and Simone provided impulses for the commercial internationalization of the products worldwide and for 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 synonym for dedication and creativity combined with an exceptional level of 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 completes the luminous shine of these exceptional elements. Each creation is handcrafted according to the customer's needs.

Marina Paralume specializes in custom-made elements according to client wishes and offers a wide range of fabrics, finishes, brass details, and glass colors, as well as crystals to draw inspiration from. This gives the customer the opportunity 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 create the perfect collection for any interior, from chandeliers to recessed spotlights, curtain rods, and bathroom accessories. The owners are proud to fulfill every request, whether for private luxury 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 make Il Paralume Marina a leader in custom creations. Brass casting in the earth is an ancient art that still excites. Die casting creates objects of perfection and the highest 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 craftsmen, who pass down the ancient Murano art, guarantee a high-quality product and undeniable craftsmanship. Fully artisanal production and the use of refined techniques make each item unique. The experience of these masters is the starting point for creating contemporary furniture and emotional objects. The strength of Marina’s lampshades lies in their excellent quality and flexibility in meeting the demands of the ever-changing international market. Crystal is proudly Italian only. It is obtained by melting 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 manually; it is mouth-blown, and engravings are entirely handcrafted, making each item a “work of art.”

Every project is a challenge that the company approaches with seriousness and passion, dedication to the client, and obsessive attention to detail. Marina Paralume, with its experience and an internal team of designers and engineers, guarantees exclusive service to professionals seeking decorative lighting solutions, offering stylistic, technical, and economic alternatives tailored to the client’s wishes.
