Beautiful chandelier with hand-cut Italian crystal balls - Il Paralume Marina

The unparalleled combination of premium materials with innovative 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 craftsmen. The combination of brass in 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 Ferronato-Simoncello couple founded a small family workshop based on a shared passion for decorative lighting.

Over the years, their sons Thomas and Simone drove the brand forward—one towards global commercial expansion, the other towards high technical standards in the construction of lighting fixtures. In subsequent years, their work elevated PARALUME MARINA to an international signature, and the brand became a synonym for dedication and creativity combined with the highest level of craftsmanship, exclusively Made in Italy.

The production is based on ancient techniques such as brass casting, Italian crystal, Murano glass blowing, and the unique style of hand-sewn lampshades crafted by Mrs. Marina’s workshop. Authentic Swarovski crystal enhances the luminous brilliance of these exceptional elements. Each creation is handmade 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 details, 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 develop 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 blend traditional manual processes to produce a completely elite and flawless product, 100% made in Italy. Continuous research and innovation in fabrics and finishes keep Il Paralume Marina at the forefront of bespoke creations. Brass casting in earth is an ancient craft that still excites. Die-casting creates objects of perfection and the highest quality, embodying 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, inheritors of the ancient Murano art, guarantee top-quality products and unquestionable craftsmanship. Fully artisanal production and refined techniques make each item unique. The expertise of these masters is the foundation for creating contemporary furniture and emotional objects. The strength of Marina’s lampshades lies in their excellent quality and flexibility to meet the demands of the ever-changing international market. Crystal is proudly only Italian. It is obtained 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 manually; it is mouth-blown and engraved entirely by hand, making each piece a true “object of art.”

Every project is a challenge that the brand approaches with seriousness and passion, dedicated to the client and obsessively attentive to details. 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.
