Our lighting, from Tato Italia

What is Tato Italia’s motto? Doing things right. Knowledge comes from practice. Doing things right allows you to express a way of being, an attitude.
“It’s about deliberately and discreetly shaping a personal vision of what freedom is, a personal vision of innovation—something you don’t actively seek, because you live with it every day,” says Tato Italia.

Tato’s concept translates into a new economic and cultural landscape. Their design is rooted in a tradition focused on the future of the handmade—an understanding of techniques and materials, and craftsmanship. According to them, it is all these elements that have earned Italy its international reputation. Indeed, working with materials and forms by hand allows objects to retain their value over time.

The company places paramount importance on the people around them. Whether designers, architects, or intellectuals, these individuals share similarities yet are also very different.

Tato Italia loves to draw inspiration from history for objects produced today that equally belong to the past. The company aims to offer a new model that is both structured and poetic, where visual research harmonizes with industrial experimentation, the study of materials and techniques—both new and old—as well as the discovery of new production locations. Thus, it is not just about good design, but also about a more complex vision of the world, of things, and of life.
