Colume

Colume is an Italian light design brand. The name “Colume” comes from the association of the Latin radical prefix “co-” that indicates togetherness, with “-lumen”, the element of light. It proposes a variegated collection of pendant, floor, table and wall lamps, combining the latest Italian design trends and its origins in Greek and Latin antiquity. The warm familiarity and the ageless elegance of classical shapes give a sense of homeliness while the surprising association of techniques and materials takes them on a pleasant journey into the exotic and the unknown. Colume is a brand whose designs are created through the sharing of expertise and values from ideation to production. Collaboration stands at the core of its vision, firmly believing that knowledge must be spread and contaminated to produce innovation. Textures and shapes are the means employed: in fact it is the pairing of time-honored forms and experimental techniques that confers the pieces their evocative quality. The philosophy behind the brand is that objects do not simply occupy a space, but they are filled with meaning. Colume stands at the joint between the materiality of the object and the immateriality of desire, the historical and the surreal, the local and the exotic, creating an eclectic selection of refined products that are both solidly grounded in tradition and open to universes yet unseen.
