Tissue holder made of Italian hand-cut amber crystal - Il Paralume Marina

The extraordinary combination of high-quality materials with top-tier design makes IL PARALUME MARINA a synonym for 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 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 brand towards global commercial expansion and elevated 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 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 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 specializes in custom-made elements 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 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 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 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 the 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 architects’ and designers’ ideas into exclusive objects, from prototypes and molds to finished products.

Master artisans, who pass down the ancient Murano craft, guarantee a high-quality product and undeniable excellence. Fully handcrafted production and sophisticated techniques ensure each item is unique. The expertise of these masters is the foundation for creating contemporary furniture and emotional objects. The strength of Marina’s lampshades lies in their superb quality and flexibility to meet the demands of the ever-changing international market. Crystal is proud to be exclusively 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 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 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.
