Curtain support with brass balls - Il Paralume Marina

The unparalleled synergy of premium raw materials and top-tier design makes IL PARALUME MARINA a true synonym of excellence.

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 symbol of 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 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 take pride in fulfilling every request, whether for luxurious private 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 luxurious 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 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, inheritors of the ancient Murano craft, guarantee top-tier quality and undeniable excellence. Entirely handcrafted production and sophisticated techniques make each item unique. The expertise of these masters serves as the foundation for creating contemporary furniture and emotional objects. The strength of Marina’s lampshades lies in their superior quality and flexibility to meet the demands of the ever-changing international market. Crystal is proudly Italian. It is obtained by melting raw materials in special furnaces at high temperatures above 1400°C, using only the finest raw materials, resulting in products with over 24% PbO, which gives them undeniable brilliance and transparency. Crystal processing is done by hand; it is mouth-blown and engraved entirely by hand, making each piece a true “work of art.”

Every project is a challenge that the company approaches with seriousness, passion, dedication to the client, and obsessive attention 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 the client’s wishes.
