About

Founded in 1946 by Bruno Gatta in Milan, Stilnovo is a legendary Italian brand known for its innovative and stylish lighting designs. With a rich heritage, Stilnovo has earned accolades such as the Compasso d'Oro and recognition at the Triennale di Milano. The brand's catalog features iconic pieces like the Saliscendi pendant, designed in 1957 by Achille and Pier Giacomo Castiglioni for the Milan Chamber of Commerce. Stilnovo has a history of collaborations with renowned designers, including Ettore Sottsass, Gae Aulenti, and Piero Castiglioni, who created the Minibox lamp in 1981. Now part of the Linea Light Group, a leader in LED technology, Stilnovo continues to blend contemporary lighting innovations with reissues of classic 20th-century designs. In post-war Italy, Stilnovo was among the first to merge industrial design with architectural brilliance, setting a standard that continues to captivate historians, collectors, and design enthusiasts around the world.
