Contardi is a leading name in Italian luxury lighting design, known for blending timeless craftsmanship with contemporary innovation. Although the Contardi brand officially launched in 2006, our expertise dates back over 30 years through collaborations with iconic names in the Italian design world. Based in the renowned Brianza district — the heart of Made in Italy manufacturing — we’ve become a trusted partner for architects, interior designers, and lighting consultants seeking distinctive, high-quality lighting solutions that elevate any space.
Our story began with lighting pioneer Michele Carcano, whose passion for prototyping and design shaped the foundation of our company. Today, his children, Achille and Paola Carcano, carry on his vision, supported by a close-knit team that feels like family — many of whom have been with us since the beginning. With a reputation built on flexibility, service, and design integrity, Contardi continues to illuminate residential, commercial, and hospitality spaces worldwide with signature pieces that reflect the soul of Italian design.
