The enterprise Valenti started life in 1929. Investing for the future in the middle of a slump on the basis of an industrial development model was the first example of courageous foresight. Contact with the most important designers of the period and with experimental processes helped to create a climate of cultural tension that made Valenti the leading Italian lighting star by the 1960s.
The guidance of Renzo Pighi and his brother Diego led to the creation of design successes such as the Medusa, Pistillo and Hebi lamps. In a moment of extraordinary ferment for Italian design Valenti became a reference for the new generation of designers: from Olaf von Bohr, the Tetrarch studio to Isao Hosoe and it took an active role in the debate regarding the emerging ADI.
Here are a few pieces from Valenti, click to enlarge.
