Our Story, Our Family

Contardi is a young company with a long history.

Founded in the 1980s thanks to the creative genius of Michele Carcano and his great passion for prototyping, the first Contardi-branded product dates back to 2006.

Michele’s heirs, Achille and Paola Carcano, have taken over the company and are now supported by a united and cohesive team, with collaborators who have been part of Contardi since the very beginning.

Since 2006, the company has experienced steady growth year after year, becoming an established reality with production and administrative headquarters in Brianza, the beating heart of Italian manufacturing.

Today, Contardi is synonymous with service, quality, and uniqueness.

Timeless design created in Italy

Contardi is a proudly Italian company.

The collection reflects the vitality of our country, with its unique culture and deep passion.

Our products are instantly recognizable yet timeless, always contemporary and unaffected by fleeting trends.

An international outlook

Contardi works with internationally renowned designers who have the ability to interpret and anticipate global trends in both the residential and hospitality sectors.

Our designers understand the evolution of market needs, creating products capable of meeting the tastes and requirements of different cultures.

Craftsmanship and cutting-edge technology

Contardi is known worldwide as the “Couturier of Light.”

Over the years, we have earned this reputation thanks to our tailor-made approach, the quality of the materials we use, and their combination with the most innovative technologies.

Our collection is designed to ensure that product quality meets the needs of every project—from both an aesthetic and lighting-technical perspective.

Indoor becomes outdoor

Our Outdoor Collection clearly demonstrates how it is possible to “furnish” outdoor spaces with light while maintaining the same intrinsic qualities as indoor products.

High-quality decorative materials and fabrics are combined with finishes and features that meet the highest standards, including IP65 certification and Marine Grade treatment. These qualities make us a premium leader in the outdoor hospitality and nautical sectors.

Products designed to illuminate the landscape, on the other hand, are conceived with a botanical approach, disappearing during the day and revealing their function only at dusk.

Contract and Bespoke projects

Eclec­ti­cism, versatility, and expertise in bespoke project management characterize our department dedicated to Contract.

Contardi’s artisanal excellence, where every lamp tells a story.

Our green heart

Our ongoing commitment is to an increasingly sustainable business, focused on reducing our environmental impact year after year, setting ever more ambitious goals.
