Gregorio Spini

Gregorio Spini is a designer who has approached the profession from a multifaceted background. In 1996 he founded the company Kundalini, a unique example of a lighting company that grew from nothing to achieve commercial success and worldwide acclaim, which has led to direct collaborations with some of the major architects and designers of our time. These include Norman Foster, Zaha Hadid, Future Systems, Alessandro Mendini, Paola Navone, Karim Rashid and many others. In 2008 he left his company to act as a freelance designer and design consultant as well as strategic advisor to the brand. In 2013 he founded Delight Design, a new lighting company launched the same year at Euroluce. This new project is closely linked to the history of Italian lighting design companies founded by designers-entrepreneurs. It is based on a new model that promotes local craftsmanship and self-production on one’s own territory, therefore enhancing the true nature of the “Made in Italy” brand on an international scale. With Vistosi he was able to experience glass-designing for the very first time, a process that had fascinated him for so long. In 2011, in fact, he designed the Bot and Implode collections. The simplicity of their silhouettes and the interplay of white glass and crystal overlays make them exemplary pieces of sleek elegance and style.
