Chandelier with six lights in mixed brown glass - Il Paralume Marina

The incredible synergy of high-quality materials with top-tier design makes IL PARALUME MARINA a synonym for craftsmanship.

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 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 a high technical standard in the construction of lighting fixtures. 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 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 specifications.

Marina Paralume specializes in custom-made elements tailored to customer 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 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 luxury homes or prestigious hotels. IL PARALUME MARINA’s lighting designs can be admired worldwide.

Passion, dedication, and attention to detail animate Mrs. Marina’s atelier. Modern technologies blend traditional handcraft processes to produce a completely prestigious 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 earth is an ancient art that still excites. Die casting creates objects of excellence 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.

Master artisans, who pass down the ancient Murano glassmaking craft, guarantee top-tier products and unquestionable quality. Fully handcrafted production and refined techniques make each item unique. The expertise of these masters serves as a 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 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 clarity and transparency. Crystal processing is done by hand; it is mouth-blown, and engravings are entirely handcrafted, 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 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.
