Daphine Classic | Highlight image 1
Undisputed emblem of elegance and functionality, the Daphine represents the essence of Lumina.

The idea behind the creation of the Daphine lamp is as simple as it is effective: a pivoting diffuser, an articulated arm in two segments and an electromechanical transformer on a cylindrical base between two metal caps.
The Daphine first “saw the light” in a small workshop in Sedriano (Milan province) in 1975 thanks to the skilful hands of Tommaso Cimini, a mechanical engineering expert, and the machines he had retooled for the purpose.

The Daphine springs from Tommaso Cimini’s design philosophy, “Lots of light, not much lamp”, which is still the essence of every product bearing the name of Lumina, the company he set up in 1980.

45 years on, the Daphine’s aesthetic and functionality are unchanged, which goes to show the validity of the original idea.

Tried and tested throughout its long production history, this lamp lends itself to countless uses in public and private places, from reading desks in libraries to pianos, from jewellery display counters to top fashion brand shop windows.

The Daphine undoubtedly deserves the status of a ‘lighting design icon’. Over the years it has figured in the collections of the world’s main design and contemporary art museums, including the Brooklyn Museum and Judd Foundation in New York, the Musée des Arts Décoratifs in Paris, the Neue Sammlung in Munich and the Triennale in Milan.

The Daphine is currently available in the classic halogen version (for the European market only) or with a LED source, in which the electromechanical transformer has made way for the electronics that guarantee higher luminous power, an extremely high colour quality, low working temperature and lower energy consumption.

Tommaso Cimini

Tommaso Cimini

Tommaso Cimini was an Italian artist. He founded Lumina Italia in 1975 and designed the very simplest of table lamps from just a bare transformer for the Milan Fair in 1974: Daphine. With its purity of line, the Daphine continues to act as benchmark. Revered by architects and designers all over the world, it’s a timeless icon of Italian design. Cimini died in an aircraft accident in 1997, leaving the company in the capable hands of his business partner and then his son, Ettore.
