About Mazzega 1946

Design Mazzega 1964

The luxury of customization, of the object, tailored just for me, of the uniqueness of the product. Mazzega 1946 realizes targeted projects, like the tailor making the suit on his client’s skin. Unique luminous objects in the world, are designed and implemented by placing the customer and his needs at the center of attention.
Before starting the design, we talk with the client, the architect, or the designer to fully understand their needs and ambitions. We take advantage of our experience and know-how to offer maximum results, always supporting the customer with the experience of the technical office, and providing rendering and 3D files for the projects. In this way, it is possible to preview the finished project, which will be later on assembled and tested entirely before leaving our company, sharing all the steps with the Customer.

In this field, all the experience gained over the years is made available to the client, creating objects that decorate and illuminate villas, but also fashion ateliers, restaurants, boutiques, conference rooms, and some of the most prestigious boutique hotels in the world.
Our task is to understand and realize the customer’s dream, giving light to the environments that are so important.
