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

Celestial combination of materials with the highest quality style gives us the synonym of the brand IL PARALUME MARINA.

This Italian company does not produce, but creates. Design and innovation, research and development meet the techniques of master craftsmen. 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 workshop based on a shared passion for decorative lighting.

Over the years, their sons Thomas and Simone drove the brand forward, respectively, towards global commercial expansion and 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 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 completes the luminous shine of these exceptional elements. Each creation is handmade according to the client’s needs.

Marina Paralume specializes in custom-made elements according to client specifications and offers a wide range of fabrics, finishes, brass details, and glass colors, as well as crystals to draw inspiration from. This gives the customer 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 craft the perfect collection for any interior, from chandeliers to recessed spotlights, curtain rods, and bathroom accessories. The owners are proud to fulfill every wish, 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. Pressure 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 craftsmen who pass down the ancient Murano art guarantee a high-quality product and undeniable craftsmanship. Fully artisanal production and sophisticated 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 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 brightness and transparency. Crystal processing is done by hand; it is mouth-blown, and engravings are entirely handcrafted, making each item a “work of art.”

Every project is a challenge that the brand approaches with seriousness and passion, dedicated to the client and obsessively attentive to details. Marina Paralume, with its experience and an internal 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.
