Karman Storytelling: tales of extraordinary ordinariness
Behind the creation of each designer lamp, each project, and each catalogue cis the work of ordinary people who transform something ordinary, lighting, into something extraordinary, which strikes and excites. Different stories united by a common thread: light and what is possible to tell through it, always obtaining new food for thought. Freedom to be, irony, and careful observation of the world to grasp its tendencies, vices, and virtues and transform them into light. This is how Karman’s decorative lighting, for interiors and exteriors, comes to life. From the passion and a pinch of madness of a team that wants to show its most transparent authenticity to the world.
