Milan, 1929: a small shop in the suburbs displays some Murano glass pieces, the famous island in proximity of Venice, a historical reference point for blown glass production.
As early as the 8th century, local artisans (actually artists would be a more apt name for them) were creating these unique artefacts, which would attain worldwide fame later on. These objects were introduced in Milan during the year of the Great Depression, which marked also the advent of Popeye, penicillin, the first Serie A football championship, an early and rudimental colour TV set and the Lateran Pacts. Those were years of great ferment in Italy, as the country had not experienced yet the effects of the global economic crunch… and actually saw the launch of plenty of small and large enterprises.
We thought it appropriate to create a new brand by combining a specific year and a place, also because design includes a variety of factors and concepts that are then translated into new ideas. The brand’s name originates also from the Italian group behind it: Rossini Illuminazione indeed was founded in Milan in 1929.
Today, 929MILANO unites the best Venetian craftsmanship with the use of precious materials, design and cutting-edge technology, all elements that can be found in a collection of 100% Made in Italy lighting fixtures.
The catalogue includes a range of lamps made of different materials, from glass to fabric, featuring classic and modern design. Contemporary style is combined with tradition, present with the past, experience and innovation meet and satisfy all trend and needs, integrating design and research; last but not least, the LED technology ensures high performance levels combined with energy saving and low environmental impact.
929MILANO means history and technology. 929MILANO means tradition and design.
