Factory story with faith in love
Imagination at times tends to subdue phenomena and objects, regardless of how much they are willing to take such "concessions".
Imagination creates light of very special property, especially if it is light of great love.
In 1965, between Marina Ferronato and Stefano Simoncello, working at the same factory, a bright spark of light ran – they met.
The first impression was correct, with the passage of time only intensified, and familiarity, as you can guess, has grown into something bigger.
And Marina and Stefano have got so alluring status newlyweds.
Needless to say – a touching story, however, for the rest of the world, it would have remained unknown if ...
If besides plans of a happy family Marina and Stefano did not cherish the dream of their own company producing handmade chandeliers and unique lamps.
Il Paralume Marina is a dream embodied in reality, forgive for the cliché. That very dream. Which began to take on the contours after our heroes’ meeting twenty-two years later.
And since that time, "light of very special property" provided an opportunity for all connoisseurs of beauty try to capture these properties.
At this point, the author allows himself a faint smile of a man who was trying at the time to know the unknowable, and later abandoned these daunting efforts.
Light of love lives in every work of art that unsurpassed Il Paralume Marina masters generously present. It is the most important part of carefully chosen details; it is meaning and purpose of any unique lamps existence.
However, "king’s retinue plays" and a bizarre combination of exquisite ground, unique lampshade and rich fabrics put all this splendor in order with a single word "harmony".
The temptation to tell about each of "retinue" is so great that, really, we will not oppose it.
Mysterious silver and bronze, prim brass, meaningful chrome-plated metal – lamp base can be enjoyed separately, for each material in hands of Il Paralume Marina masters reveals its secrets easily, naturally and gracefully.
Swarovski Crystals, amazing Italian crystal, unsurpassed Venetian glass, elegant hand-forged alloy – lampshade is perfect, refined, gorgeous.
And yet ...
It necessarily presents in "retinue".
Fabric.
Drapery fascinates, surprises, delights. Fantastical play of light "justifies" the use of organza, chiffon, silk. Rhinestones, beads, and of course, the inimitable hand embroidery add special charm to finished masterpieces – Marina Ferronato is considered an excellent embroiderer. And – "the muse of the company, she is a designer, and a fashion designer, and an artist," as Stefano Simoncello says about her.
Sons Thomas, Simone and daughter Federica also work at his family's factory, founded by our heroes, where "light of very special properties" turns into an inimitable revelation.
The luxury of fine taste, betrothed to aristocracy is Il Paralume Marina floor lamps, chandeliers and lamps, created in the tradition of Venetian and Florentine school, it is a bridge to the future, "antiques for tomorrow."
Four collections of Il Paralume Marina production, where each lamp can be made in one of five metal finishes and decorated with any of more than hundreds of fine textiles options, allow to dream and wait for dream to come true.
With faith in love.
