Our concepts can be used for many ideas: the magnetic can be applied to any surface, so why not invent new supports? Our customers are very creative and together we create new customised things, based on specific needs and designs.
And then the customisation of light bulbs, a world apart! Did you know that we have a patent for the glass decoration of light bulbs? So let your imagination run wild! We have created customised light bulbs for public places, as institutional gifts from large companies, and even for wedding presents!
If you have a project to realise, let's talk about it!
]]>To her we owe the design of the new Koso and Rocco products, metal elements to be used with magnetic to create new lamps.
]]>She immediately liked our way of creating and our concepts ... it was understanding at first sight. Embracing the philosophy of a design in motion that is never still and shape-shifting is not easy. With Flavia we worked on the design of the new Koso and Rocco products, metal elements to be used with magnetic to create new lamps. Ideas that become designs, designs that become prototypes and finally products that come to 'light' ... but more! We worked together on the concept, communication and presentation to the market. What a pleasure!
She says of herself that "She contemplates everyday tools because their intelligence makes her smile and realise that there is so much more beyond mere form." This is indeed the case, we can confirm!
]]>Today we are presenting a new collection designed on elements to be used with magnetic to create new lamps. We worked with Flavia Martignago, an emerging designer, who immediately interpreted our way of seeing light with enthusiasm.
So we grew up ... we have made great products or great products: Koso, a very large magnetic table lamp, Rocco the magnetic floor lamp.
We are still us ... a bit different but always in search of beauty on the move...
]]>With this team, everything important comes from having fun, and of course we will see some great things!
]]>So once it was invented, why not industrialize it and create a dynamic module to light all houses? And here we are ... everything else is legend! :-)
]]>Università degli Studi di Milano, Via Festa del Perdono 7. Absolutely worth seeing
]]>Illuminate art or sublimate it by making light a discreet but significant part of the work? That is the dilemma...
Starting with the first thought behind the idea, it all depends on how much creative and intellectual synergy exists between artist and 'lightee'. Gianni Lucchesi set us the challenge... A 13 metre high installation full of meaning.
As always, a team at work, made up of art, craftsmanship, engineering and light.
The sculpture, specially designed for Fuorisalone 2023, was created with the relationship between man and 'building' in mind. OPERAE is strongly characterised by geometric and mathematical elements. Fibonacci's golden sequence punctuates the rotation of the cubes that support man in a contemplative attitude.
Like everything else, light can be studied in many ways. One can illuminate from the outside, one can enhance a specific point.
We have chosen, as always, to make light the protagonist. It becomes an integrated part of the work, it helps to perceive its profound meaning. each slice of light is a door to the interior and thus to the universe.
the contemplating man from whom everything starts is illuminated exclusively in the right hemisphere known as the 'poet', which specialises in visual processing and the perception of images, their spatial organisation and emotional interpretation;
We are therefore excited and proud.
University of Milan, Via Festa del Perdono 7.
come and see it from 17 April, it's worth it.

]]>Presenteremo Audrey, il primo paralume dinamico che si orienta (sembra proprio il cappellino di Audrey, vero?) ... la nostra visione dinamica della luce!
Audrey è:
Con la sua nuova scatolina in cartone completamente riciclato, senza collanti, costruito ad incastri è l'idea regalo perfetta.
]]>"La tendenza attuale nell'illuminazione è completamente buttata a mare da Filotto", dice l'entusiasta Martijn Torenstra che ha Filotto come nuovo marchio nel suo portafoglio. "Il produttore italiano di Pisa in realtà sceglie dei bei colori un po' opachi che si adattano bene a vari interni. Combinano questo con applicazioni versatili e giocose".

Se Filotto è un grande risorsa per l’Olanda, Martijn è una grande risorsa per Filotto! 😊
Siamo onorati, grazie ad Adrian, l’autore dell’articolo!

With Feel-Hot it is child's play! The cables already wired with the lamp holder in 8 colours already available in the shop and the lamps Thank you painted to match, you can choose the mix of colours and the type of light. You save time, measurements, quotes ... everything is ready, available, easy ... it's child's play!
]]>Maybe!
How many lamps in a pendant? What kind of lamps? Lampshade or bare lamp? Diffused light or point light?
Sounds easy .... 😊 ... but it's actually "a piece of cake!"
We first choose the number of lamps, which essentially depends on the size of the space to be illuminated
To illuminate a small space 2 lights are enough, in the center of the room or off-center depending on the desired effect.
As the space to be illuminated increases, the number of lamps should be increased.
With the new Feel-Hot system, this is all very simple. Just choose the number of lights, the color mix and you're done. All available in store, easy, immediate. The technical components are included in the rosette, ready for assembly by the electrician. The measures are taken at home, choosing the shape of the suspension on site. The cable length of 3 meters allows any kind of choice, adapting it to your environment!
If the problem is the type of lighting, we always recommend playing with light. The 360° light when the only source of illumination, flattens the environments. It is better to give different light sources directed differently to enhance an area, a picture, a corner.
That's why we love multi-light suspensions: each lamp has a different role, each lamp illuminates something. And that's why we invented the 3 Grazie, lamps colored to match the lamp holder, which we think are beautiful, but also very technical:
The 3 Graces used together achieve the goal: a dynamic light that relies on different forms of light to give movement to the environment. Try them out together ... the game is assured.
Le 3 Grazie are naked lamps, but they replace the lampshade: the opaque coating allows the light to be dressed, avoiding any glare.

Lookingup the names of our products is always a fun journey. First the needs to besatisfied arrive, then the products and finally the names. And when we get tothe names it is typically evening, the day is over and some of us throw the bomb… and go!
Let's start with Lucia as light ... so why doesn't Mario say someone ... and so Sofia...
Alessia disagrees, Fabio laughs out loud ... Emanuela comments "Mario is lucky ...between 2 women" ... let's proceed like this until we understand: Light is a woman! And it all comes back ...
You were thinking of the 3 graces of Greek mythology …. You’re wrong! :-)
3 colored lamps, different from each other in function,but synergistic. The color is full and completely covering: in this way it ispossible to direct the light and give depth to colors of your room.
MARIA: makes a scattered and harmonious light. Used as a pendant lamp, it sheds lightup wards, giving brightness to the room, with maximum comfort.
LUCIA: a real spotlight that lightsup in a directional way. Used as a pendant, it concentrates the light under itto enhance a specific point in the room: a table? A desk? A plant?
SOFIA: it sheds 360 degrees of light but the painted partallows you to avoid glare. Used as a table lamp it protects thegaze: the studied inclination allows to avoid glare.
Each of the 3 Graces meets different lighting needs, but when used togetherthey become wonderful because the light becomes dynamic within the samesuspension.
Like all the light bulbs in the Filotto assortment, they areenergy-saving LEDs, processed in Italy with 6 layers of paint: the first whiteto increase the light reflection capacity, the second black to give maximumcoverage (not even a dot must pass of light!) and then the color ...
Theyare registered models: no one try to imitate them!

How do you make it easy to choose the right pendant for your home? Light has always been a complicated object, in need ofplanning, measurements, floor plans, combinations ... subsequent bids ... ofcourse, in addition to simplicity, we also wanted an smart solution and at thesame time Made in Italy and eco-friendly ... the first thought was: from todaywe don't produce lamps anymore but power banks! :-)
A real headache!
The goal was to break away from structured design to get in an area of simplicity, immediacy and emotionality. How tomake many color combinations simple, many different placements, adapting thesame solution to the infinite locations lighting needs?
And after many hilarious alcoholic meetings, the Feel-Hot System comes to light: the new concept for the choice ofmultiple suspension, simple, colorful, modular, fast, prêt à porter, accompaniedfor the first time by coordinated lamps that make every idea irresistible!
In the Filotto stores you will find, readyfor assembly:
Just choose the right number of drops,match the colors of the "calatine" and you're done: it's child'splay!
In summary, we have made ours the 5 maximsthat we all know, useful in life ... and today also useful in choosing yourchandelier:
The Feel-hot system, as all our offer, is at the same time simple and dynamic, customizable and adaptable to many needs.

his "Little Men" suddenly appear, for example in Rome ... it is difficult not to get excited seeing them, poetic, androgynous, an elongated shape that seems to bend, impossible to break. The gift of a flower, of a heart with roots reflects his thought “take your heart wherever you go”.
We want to describe it in his own words: “poetry is like a nail, firm enough to hold the wall upright”.
last August, passing on the Aurelia we fell in love with the message and its forms.
Many huge little men kept us company on the journey from Tuscany to Rome ... it was tiring to trace him back, we contacted him, and we appreciated the great humanity and depth of his thought we could not fail to adopt the first 4 graphics:
Think poetic;a way of being, a vision of the world, an invitation to take a new look at things.
Skyscraper,;The little man, sitting on top of the skyscraper with a flower in his hand, waits for something or someone, and dreams in perennial balance.
Flower represents a little man with a flower in his hand, who walks towards life and towards his dreams, always carrying his heart with him
Dream The Dream lamp speaks for itself: the little man of Qwerty with its flower, the invitation to dream
Of course, on the tattoo lamps you will find the work as it is, simply adapted in size, but intact in the graphics. A work on the light bulb. Our small contribution to allow everyone to bring home a small piece of poetry and art ... from the wall to the lamp
A friendship was born with Qwerty, we share values and visions: we are captains of paper boats and walnut shells ... full sail and full speed ahead!

Hand painted 6W bulb, with a totally Italian 100% made in Italy. It continues with a slightly vintage mood that paints two eye on the bulb, one larger and one smaller to play with the light. It has a matching lamp holder, which incorporates the finishes and is enriched with a hemp cable that winks even most rustic environments. The result? An unusual and extravagant Christmas gift perfect to satisfy even the most daring tastes.
Did you know that our products are not tested on animals? And that they’re OGM free? And they do not contain palm oil? These are just some of the examples with which we have had fun making our packaging unique so that it is also clear that at Filotto we never take ourselves too seriously and smile reigns supreme. On the other hand, what could be more beautiful than seeing the person who unwraps our gift smile?

These are pendants, wall lights, table lamps.
Filotto has a large number of functional lighting solutions.
Filotto was born with colored pendants. Today it is possible to choose between ceramic, silicone and metal chandeliers. Even the magnetic world offers a series of pendants with one drop, two or three drops, in the colors of the magnetic. A dynamic and directional solution for every taste.
For customized solutions (customized cable lengths and colors, number of drops) just contact a Filotto dealer who will be able to show you any type of customization.
Filotto offers a series of different solutions for the wall lamp. From the simplest and most colorful solutions such as ceramic, metal or silicone walls, with or without joint, to the most innovative solutions such as those proposed in the magnetic world, such as the Combo, a shelf to be applied to the wall with the magnetic lamp holder in combination with color for a useful as well as functional wall lamp: the shelf becomes a pocket emptier, we can place a vase or books on it. The bulk of the lamp can be eliminated simply by attaching the lamp holder under the shelf. Versatile product, also widely used as a bedside table.
The table lamp is used to light up a desk, a table, a bedside table. In the Filotto line you can find the table, a colored and economical lamp, and the magnetic that can be detached from its base and attached to any ferrous surface. They are functional products but also gift ideas especially when combined with a tattoo lamp!
Filotto light bulbs are at the same time functional energy-saving LED lamps with warm light, but also emotional as they contain graphics and writings that represent a way of being and thinking. The graphics on the lamps are also designed to reduce glare from "naked" bulbs, increasing their visual comfort.
]]>Fabio, (the big head on the Filotto logo ... even if all the men of the team are the same: bald, beard, ironic ...), multiple roles, many facets. The creative, all creative projects start from him. Love light and love materials. When the creative process starts, there are no limits to places and times! And this process does not stop at aesthetics, but continues with prototyping, industrialization. Curious about all kinds of technology, he works side by side with suppliers, learns and then reuses! He gave the stamp of Filotto and the team which naturally looks a lot like him.
Emanuela, works with Fabio on new products (values, price lists ... in short, the economic and financial part). She also manages the back office, customer and supplier orders ... without me no Filotto would be shipped! :-) then also pays and collects, in short, the dirty work .. but someone has to do it!
Raffaele, the first great employee of Filotto, is the coordinator of internal and external production. He works on all operations with Fabio, with the aim of improving productivity and therefore product delivery times. He is a person of great dexterity and great taste, the first one with whom the creative process is shared. An indispensable resource.
Francesco, manages domestic (Northern Italy) and International sales , his English aplomb hides a very warm person and very attached to the company. With him we started getting serious from the “creatificio” to the showcases!
Alessia, sales manager for Center South Italy, an energy bomb, a visceral passion for her customers! She has experience as entrepreneur in commerce. She therefore knows all kinds of needs and goes out of her way to satisfy all needs ... if you let her do it, she will rearrange your shop window in a flash! :-)
Diego, our latest recruit, a golden boy. Young and muscular, he is willing able, available and generous. He makes all the “tavolotto”, I mean every single one!
And then our external collaborators:
Il Barba, nicknamed Pio (from him the name of the Pio lamp ... let's save that story), tattoo lamps were born with him. A loveable gruff, but with a big heart as well as a great professional ... we love him a lot!
Paolo, a pure genius, paints anything, an inventor of methods and solutions. Any technician who has seen his work is amazed. We have a problem? no problem ... with him only solutions
Gabriele, he and his company can be trusted, helpful and kind. He patiently manages our every urgency ... and unfortunately with us it is always an urgency!
Ivan, a serious and precise entrepreneur, a true Lombard! has an efficient team like few others, we work very well with them!
Luca, the partner ... how can we not learn from him and his team, we are very attached to them and we like them very much!
Many others ... many stories, many beautiful businesses, many different ways of doing business, but we are all alike: we really like doing what we do and we do it well (often at least!)
