Masai is a strand of unexpected light. Light and flexible, it is ideal for art collectors and exhibitions, to reveal hidden corners and enhance others. We like to think that light should never be the protagonist next to a work of art. For this reason, Masai was born: to illuminate paintings and sculptures in a simple, light and versatile way. Pure simplicity perfectly inserted in the environment, almost invisible dark line that gives only a sudden sparkle of brass. Masai is lateral thought made light.

Movie, Alessandra Dallagiovanna - Davide Groppi, 2010
Wall module with slow flashing light and Customizable images.
Flash - Davide Groppi, 2017- It is available up to 12 meters in length. It is the declination of our Infinito model, but with the light directed downwards. The stainless steel band, 9 mm wide, can be stretched perfectly up to 12 meters in length. Flash is the ideal solution for direct lighting of spaces with great heights.
Infinito, David Groppi 2016 is a spatial concept, it is continuous light. A very thin tape, in a particular stainless steel and only 18 mm wide, cuts the space and produces indirect light. It is possible to adapt, stretch and orient Infinito from wall to wall, from ceiling to floor, up to 12 meters in length. Infinity, essence and absence.
The Infinito and Flash projects are a system that de-materialises the lamp object, turning it into something else, leaving only a trace, a line and then not even that, just a concept ... only light.
