Classic Mariateresa chandelier with gold-plated metal frame covered with clear glass arms – Il Paralume Marina

The incredible synergy of high-quality materials and sophisticated 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 a shared passion for decorative lighting.

Over the years, their sons Thomas and Simone drove the company 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 of 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 customer wishes and offers a wide range of fabrics, finishes, brass details, and glass colors, as well as crystals to draw inspiration from. This gives clients 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 wish, 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 prestigious 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 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.

The master artisans who pass down the ancient Murano art guarantee a high-class product and unquestionable quality. Fully handcrafted production and 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 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 brightness 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 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.
