Vistosi was founded in 1945 with the opening of a new furnace in Murano, Venice. The company was named after its founder Guglielmo Vistosi whose family had long traditions in glass making tracing back to the 16thcentury. Under the guidance of Gino and Luciano Vistosi, Guglielmo's grandchildren, the company began to focus on lighting over the 1950s, achieving considerable success in Italy. However, it was over the late 1960s and early 1970s with a series of releases designed by acclaimed Italian designers Gae Aulenti, Vico Magistretti, and Angelo Mangiarotti that the name of Vistosi became synonymous with premium Italian lighting around the world.
Vistosi Lighting continues to collaborate with important designers to produce high-quality Italian lighting for modern interiors. Giogali by Angelo Mangiarotti; Peggy, Futura and Stone by Hangar Design Group; Diadema, Puppet and Novecento by Romani Saccani Architetti Associati; Nodo by Pio e Tito Toso; Jube and Sata by Favaretto & Partners are awarded icons. Today, you will find Vistosi lamps, pendant lights, chandeliers and wall lights in residences and commercial spaces around the globe, from Moscow to New York, to Auckland and beyond.
