Metis Lighting

The international Lighting Design company Metis Lighting was founded in 1990 by Marinella Patetta and Claudio Valent in Milan. They met during the first European Lighting Master in Politecnico di Milano and both worked at the Piero Castiglioni’s practice before deciding to become partners of their own studio. Metis Lighting ever since has become an International independent lighting design company. The choice of the name is indicating their approach to light. Metis, in ancient Greek, means “advice, wisdom, counseling”, and this is what Metis Lighting represents.

Initially, Metis Lighting undertook small projects, private residences and small restaurants, creating custom lighting solutions, award winning lamps, as well as an urban lighting scheme for the City of Bergamo, parallel to their activity of lighting fixtures production. They soon extended their experience in all the fields of lighting design and in the first ten years they succeeded in establishing collaborations with major clients as Credit Suisse, Dolce& Gabbana and Bulgari Hotels. Today, their client portfolio is enriched with long lasting collaborations with brands in Retail and Hospitality, together with major public Institutions.
