Placida Lettis Luce's vision is based on three pillars: respect for history, love for art and passion for sustainable design.
We hold the belief that each lamp carries a distinct narrative, etched into the patina of time that adorns its surface and embedded within every intricate detail. Our restoration philosophy deeply honors this history: rather than attempting to erase the traces of time, we aim to accentuate them, celebrating the imperfections and scars as testimony to its singular identity.
In the disassembly phase, each element of the lamp is carefully separated with utmost attention. This step is crucial to access the internal parts, understand the original structure, and identify any areas of degradation. Each component is cataloged and preserved so that it can be restored and reassembled faithfully.
The restoration is the soul of our work. Here, the lamp rediscovers its original splendor. But our approach goes beyond: we respect and cherish the signs of time, turning every imperfection into a strength.
At the heart of our restoration process lies artisan dedication, where each phase is carried out entirely by hand, without any involvement of industrial processes. This unique approach allows us to preserve the historical essence of each lamp, with zero environmental impact, and to transform the traces of time into authentic testimonies of beauty.
Illumination is the rebirth of the lamp. After a meticulous restoration process, it is essential to ensure that the chosen light source is suitable and enhances every detail of the lamp. The selection of light sources, cables, and switches is based on criteria of energy efficiency and aesthetic respect, thus ensuring a perfect synergy between past and future.
Each lamp that enters our laboratory undergoes a meticulous process of disassembly and restoration. Every component is carefully inspected, cleaned, and revitalized, with utmost attention paid to preserving its original characteristics. This process demands not only skill and expertise but also a delicate touch and a profound sensitivity to the object's aesthetic qualities.
Placida Lettis Luce stands as a beacon of sustainable design: we breathe new life into forgotten objects, rediscovering them not only as functional light sources but also as captivating and singular design pieces. In doing so, we take pride in fostering a conscious approach to consumption that prioritizes durability and authenticity, embracing the values of recovery and renewal.
For Placida Lettis Luce, restored lamps are much more than simple objects: they are tales of bygone eras, expressions of an artisanal tradition of excellence and innovation and silent witnesses of the industrial history of the 20th century.
In Placida Lettis Luce, each lamp is a treasure waiting to be unearthed, a fragment of history to be cherished and passed down through generations, catering to those who seek elegance, exclusivity, and beauty in every aspect of their lives.
This is the journey that Placida Lettis Luce invites you to take - a journey where the past is revisited, the present honored, and the future anticipated. It is a journey where antiquity meets modernity, and where, through the art of restoration, a newfound appreciation for design and its role in the world emerges.
Placida Lettis Luce has become the reference for the recovery and restoration of industrial lamps, standing out for the meticulousness and attention to detail with which each lamp is dismantled, checked, cleaned, and reconditioned
