Small red vase made of Murano glass - Il Paralume Marina

Otherworldly raw material synergy with the highest quality design makes us synonymous with IL PARALUME MARINA 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 towards global commercialisation and 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 finest 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 by Mrs. Marina’s workshop. Authentic Swarovski crystal enhances the luminous brilliance of these exceptional elements. Each creation is handcrafted according to the client’s needs.

Marina Paralume specialises in custom-made elements tailored to client wishes and offers a wide range of fabrics, finishes, brass details, glass colours, and crystals to draw from. This allows the client 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 are proud to fulfill every request, whether for luxurious private homes or prestigious hotels. IL PARALUME MARINA 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 fully 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 earth is an ancient art that still excites. Pressure casting creates objects of perfection and top quality, embodying luxury and elegance exclusively in Italy. We cast metal, transforming architects’ and designers’ ideas into exclusive objects, from prototypes and moulds to finished products.

Master artisans, passing down the ancient Murano art, guarantee a high-class product and undeniable quality. Fully handcrafted production and sophisticated techniques make each item unique. The experience of these masters is the foundation for creating contemporary furniture and emotional objects. Marina’s lampshades are renowned for their excellent quality and flexibility in meeting 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 unmatched clarity and transparency. Crystal processing is done manually; it is mouth-blown and engraved entirely by hand, making each piece a “work of art.”

Every project is a challenge that the brand approaches with seriousness and passion, dedication to the client, and obsessive attention to detail. Marina Paralume, with its experience and internal team of designers and engineers, guarantees exclusive service to professionals seeking decorative lighting solutions, offering stylistic, technical, and economic alternatives tailored to client wishes.
