Starting from a simple electromechanical transformer, made by hand, he created the ultra-simple table lamp (now exhibited in top modern art museums around the world). The Daphine table lamp\u00a0 \u201c<em>poca lampada, tanta luce<\/em>\u201d [little lamp, a lot of light]\u00a0 was the slogan, embodied its defining values of simplicity, style, and functionality, which enchanted the German public who saw it for the first time at the\u00a0<strong>Milan Trade Fair<\/strong>\u00a0in 1974. From this first great success,\u00a0<strong>Lumina Italia<\/strong>\u00a0was founded in 1975.<\/p>\n<p>The idea was of creating and building lamps \u201cdressed in simplicity.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Tommaso Cimini began working with designers the caliber of Walter Monici, Riccardo Blumer, Yaacov Kaufman, and Emanuele Ricci, adding to the Lumina catalogue year by year with their creativity and his clear crafting brilliance. The growth of the company almost took him by surprise and Cimini decided to draw on the support of Ermanno Prosperi in 1985, who long was manager for the entire logistics and financial area, applying his know-how and managerial \u00e9lan.<\/p>\n<p>In 1987 a new Lumina center opened in Arluno. Between 1992 and 1994, branches were opened in Germany and Switzerland. In 1997 Tommaso Cimini died in an airplane crash, leaving the company in the hands of Ermanno Prosperi. He was in charge of the financial and managerial aspects of the company. A change came in 2008 with the entry of Ettore Cimini, Tommaso\u2019s son, at the head of the company. His enthusiasm for the world of lighting prompted him to focus on the product: new ideas, technical passion, unshakable faith in a fully Italian product, and craftsmanship applied to industrial processes gave the company flexibility and dynamism. These are a few of the ingredients that have informed Lumina in the 21st century.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In 1997 Tommaso Cimini died in an airplane crash, leaving the company in the hands of Ermanno Prosperi.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":87066,"parent":0,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"tags":[6511],"class_list":["post-103741","artisti","type-artisti","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tags-c"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v28.7 (Yoast SEO v28.7) -
