Stylish Italian desk lamp made of glass - Il Paralume Marina

The extraordinary synergy of raw materials with the highest quality design gives us the synonym of craftsmanship for IL PARALUME MARINA.

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

Over the years, their sons Thomas and Simone have driven the company forward—Thomas focusing on the global commercial expansion of the product, and Simone on the high technical standards of the lighting fixtures themselves. 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 crafted by Mrs. Marina’s workshop. Authentic Swarovski crystal completes the luminous shine of these exceptional elements. Each creation is handmade according to the client’s needs.

Marina Paralume specializes in custom-made pieces according 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 are proud to fulfill every request, whether for private luxurious homes or prestigious hotels. IL PARALUME MARINA’s lighting projects can be admired worldwide.

The passion, dedication, and attention to detail breathe life into 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 earth is an ancient art that still excites. Die casting creates objects of excellence and the highest quality, synonymous with luxury and elegance, exclusively in Italy. We cast metal, transforming the ideas of architects and designers into exclusive objects—from prototypes and molds to finished products.

The master artisans who pass down the ancient Murano glassmaking craft guarantee top-tier products and undeniable quality. Fully handcrafted production and refined techniques ensure each item is unique. The experience of these masters is the foundation for creating contemporary furniture and emotional objects. The strength of Marina’s glass is its perfect quality and flexibility in meeting the demands of the ever-changing international market. Crystal is proudly only Italian. It is produced 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 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 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.
