Glass shelf with cast brass leaf supports - Il Paralume Marina

The unparalleled combination of high-quality materials and sophisticated style makes IL PARALUME MARINA a true synonym.

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 Ferronato-Simoncello couple founded a small family business based on their shared passion for decorative lighting.

Over the years, their sons Thomas and Simone drove the company forward, expanding its international presence and elevating the technical standards of the lighting fixtures themselves. 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 shine of these exceptional elements. Each creation is handmade according to the client’s needs.

Marina Paralume specializes in custom-made elements tailored to the client’s wishes and offers a wide range of fabrics, finishes, brass details, glass colors, as well as crystals to draw inspiration from. This gives the client 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 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 luxurious 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 top 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 artisans who pass down the ancient Murano art guarantee a high-quality product and undeniable craftsmanship. Fully handcrafted production and the use of refined techniques ensure that each item is 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 brilliance and transparency. Crystal processing is done by hand; it is mouth-blown and engraved entirely by hand, 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 the client’s wishes.
