Luceplan Berenice Floor Lamp
In the floor version, Berenice is the ideal and discreet companion to people wanting to rest. It is the inimitable founding product of a new type range of reasonably small sprung-jointed lamps. The fluid articulation of its movements and its perfect stability make Berenice the light that can be moved around without occupying valuable space and with the least trouble.Berenice operates with a transformer that allows low tension current to reach the bulb through the rods without electrical cable, thus leaving its figure slender and elegant. Thanks to a special distancer fitted into the lower part of the head, the light can be brought very close to whatever needs to be illuminated, while maintaining the right distance from objects. A simple touch of the head ring, which is well insulated and independent from the bulb housing, will palso orient the light in any direction.

Alberto Meda
Italy, 1945
Alberto Meda studied mechanical engineering in Milan, graduating in 1969. Soon after he was appointed technical director for the design-oriented manufacturer, Kartell. In 1979 Meda made the decision to pursue independent work as a designer and engineer.
The wonderfully functional and comfortable Meda task chair, designed during the 1990’s for Vitra, combines ergonomic sophistication with a visual coherence that testifies to his engineering background. Meda’s portfolio is comprised of a wide range of products – everything from cars for Alfa Romeo to high-tech lighting for Luceplan. Meda is acknowledged for his ability to use state-of-the-art materials in ways that are visually arresting as well as structurally sound. Alberto Meda has been working with Vitra since 1994. During this time he has created a series of office chairs and a variety of office and conference desks.
Today he lives in Milan.
Paolo Rizzatto
Italy, 1941
Paolo Rizzatto was born in 1941 in Milan, Italy, where he studied architecture at the Milan Polytechnic. In 1968 he opened his own studio and worked on lighting, architectural and interior design projects. In 1978 he founded Luceplan together with Riccardo Sarfatti. With the 265 Lamp collection, Rizzato’s work was recognized internationally.
This collection would be followed by the Berenice Table Lamps and the Titania Hanging Lamps, which are reminiscent of floating submarines (both created in collaboration with Alberto Meda and produced by Luceplan). The Costanza series of lighting represents his work at its best, ethereal and uncluttered.
Over the years Rizzatto has received many important national and international awards for design, including three Compasso d’oro Awards, 1981, 1989 and 1994. His creations are part of the permanent collections of museums such as the Wave Hill Museum Centre for Environmental Studies, the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the Victoria and Albert Museum in London and the National Museum of Science and Technology in Milan.
Since 1978, Luceplan has remained at the forefront of interior and exterior lighting solutions that are both stylish and environmentally conscious. This Italian brand hand-picks materials and employs innovative manufacturing techniques to enhance product longevity and minimize ecological impact.
Luceplan is committed to producing designs that are aesthetically pleasing and technologically advanced, ensuring they remain relevant beyond passing trends. Their philosophy is to blend beauty with functionality, transforming every lighting fixture into a timeless piece of art. This approach illuminates spaces and enriches them, making Luceplan’s offerings an integral part of homes and public venues alike.
