Italian stylish soap dish made of hand-cut crystal - Il Paralume Marina

The exciting correlation of raw materials with top-quality design gives us the synonym of the IL PARALUME MARINA brand.

This Italian company does not produce, it creates. Design and innovation, research and development meet the techniques of the great masters of craftsmanship. The combination of brass in the earth, Italian crystal, Murano glass, silk, and organza, topped with Swarovski Elements, allows for no compromises. 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 have driven the commercial internationalisation of the product worldwide and the high technical level of the lighting bodies themselves. In subsequent years, their work elevated the PARALUME MARINA workshop to an international signature, and the brand became synonymous with dedication and creativity combined with an excellent degree of craftsmanship exclusively Made in Italy.

The production is based on ancient brass casting techniques, Italian crystal, Murano glass blowing, and the unique style of lampshades hand-sewn by Mrs Marina's workshop. Authentic Swarovski crystal adds a sparkling brilliance to these exceptional elements. Each creation is handcrafted according to the client's needs.

Marina Paralume specialises in creating bespoke elements according to the client's wishes and offers a wide range of fabrics, finishes, brass finishes, and glass colours, as well as crystals to choose from. This gives the client the opportunity to select something unique and unparalleled, created exclusively by and for them. Architects and designers of IL PARALUME MARINA are available to create the right collection for any interior, from chandeliers to recessed spotlights, curtain rods, and bathroom accessories. The owners are proud to fulfil any wish for both private luxury homes and prestigious hotels. IL PARALUME MARINA lighting designs can be admired worldwide.

Passion, dedication, and attention to detail bring Mrs Marina's atelier to life. Modern technologies combine with traditional hand processes to achieve 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 creating bespoke items. Brass casting in the 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 the ideas of architects and designers into exclusive objects, from prototype to mould to finished product.

Craftsmen who pass on the ancient art of Murano guarantee a high-class product and undeniable quality. Completely artisanal production and the use of sophisticated techniques make each item unique. The experience of the masters is the starting point for the brand to create contemporary furniture and emotional objects. The strength of the Marina lampshade is its excellent quality and flexibility in meeting the demands of the ever-changing international market. The crystal is proudly Italian. It is obtained by melting in special furnaces at high temperatures, above 1400°, using the highest quality raw materials, resulting in a product with over 24% PbO, which gives it undeniable brightness and transparency. The crystal processing is done by hand; it is mouth-blown, and engravings are entirely hand-made, making each item an "object of art."

Each project is a challenge that the brand faces with seriousness and passion, dedication to the client, and an obsessive attention to detail. Marina Paralume, with its experience and in-house team of designers and engineers, guarantees exclusive service to professionals who wish to incorporate decorative lighting solutions into their projects, offering stylistic, technical, and economic alternatives tailored to the client's wishes.
