Tetatet by Davide Groppi: a new concet for having dinner by candlelight
From the late eighties Davide Groppi invents lamps that manufactures and distributes worldwide company with the same name. From the start, Davide Groppi stand out because of its special attention to technology and innovation, to design, humanistic approach to the project, the international presence, sensitivity to the social aspects of wonking.
The fundamental elements of Davide Groppi's lamps are simplicity, lightness, emotions and invention, that he uses as an alphabet to write bright stories. Insights of light between the heart and brain, searching for the truth to rediscover the beauty.
"I prefer lamps sort out from heart and brain too, intuition grow out of a particular way to be and think. For this reason I’m always tryng to get closer to the light sofly, always questing the truth, in order to create the most beautiful light in the world."
Tetatet is the result of this recent work and it’s included into the new collection “the Light in the Pot” designed for restourant’s lighting. Davide Groppi believes that the most beautiful light in the world is the light above the table, that means that means a place to meet and to love.
"“Looking at the “Supper in Emmaus” by Caravaggio, I’ve discovered what is the best light in a restaurant. I’ve discovered that the light on the plate is the best ever. ‘Cause it makes you feel like you’re the only customer in the restaurant and give you a unique experience that turns the table into a meeting and love place. ”"
Tetatet: you don’t need to say nothing more. A portable lamp which turns every table into a place to meet and to love place and finally to consider light like a fundamental ingredient of life. It is the most beautiful light in the world. The light which turns everything more real and deeper.The light which makes us feel unique around a table.
Davide Groppi is the best kind of minimalist. He does not work by denying himself what could give give his products interest. Instead, he is a consummate artist — a magician, capable of poetic effects — who shows how powerful a minimal. abstract composition can be.
When it’s turned on its nature changes completely, becoming an object of the atmosphere. A simple line with white matte finish, which match with any type of environment: modern or classical. It creates deep shyness, lights food up perfectly and the people become beautiful and sensual. Tetatet is perfect for indoor use and outdoor as well, providing up to 5 hours of wireless light.
"Lamps grow out not of magic trick but of our commitment and our fantasy, work and organization, passion, hearts and head. This is the spirit of our work.”
In September, 2013, at Maison & Objet in Paris, Davide Groppi has presented the special edition steel, signed by Christofle, the French company specializing in prestigious tableware.
