Cangini & Tucci blown glass lamps: the essence of Made in Italy craftsmanship
Cangini & Tucci’s production is entirely handcrafted. Each lamp is shaped by skilled hands that mold the glass through fire and material, creating elegant and dynamic forms. Decorations are applied by brush or airbrush, with shades ranging from soft tones to more intense contrasts. The subsequent kiln-firing process fixes the pigments to the surface, ensuring long-lasting brilliance and durability. Slight variations in color, shape or size are part of the product’s value, certified by a document attesting to its authenticity and 100% Italian craftsmanship. Founded in Cesena in 1961 by master glassmaker Gino Luigi Cangini, the company initially produced blown glass giftware and decorative objects. Since its inception, it has used borosilicate glass, valued for its clarity, lightness and heat resistance. In 1987, management passed to his son-in-law Pietro Tucci and daughters Vanda and Vera, who preserved the artisanal spirit while gradually guiding the company toward the lighting sector. From 2001, with the introduction of the first borosilicate chandeliers, Cangini & Tucci became a pioneer in the use of this material in decorative lighting, setting a trend later widely recognized. One of the most emblematic expressions of Cangini & Tucci's cultural vision is the official partnership with the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam, which gave rise to the Zoe® Van Gogh collection. Inspired by the works of the Dutch master, these lamps reinterpret iconic paintings such as Almond Blossom, transforming pictorial subjects into evocative lighting pieces. Each lamp is crafted in Italy by master glassmakers, with slight irregularities that certify the manual production and uniqueness of every piece. The decorations, applied with painting techniques, recall Van Gogh's poetic use of color, giving each object both a functional and artistic value.
Quality, technology and bespoke design: the excellence of Cangini & Tucci
Each Cangini & Tucci lamp is made with carefully selected components and assembled with artisanal precision. Every production phase is managed internally: from design and glassblowing to functionality testing and visual inspection. Even the packaging is carefully designed to protect each piece during transport. The goal is to ensure maximum customer satisfaction by delivering reliable, long-lasting and refined products. Light quality is central to the company’s philosophy. Cangini & Tucci lamps are equipped with LEDs developed and assembled in Italy, specifically designed to enhance the optical qualities of blown glass. Only Nichia LEDs are used, with a high Color Rendering Index (CRI typ 95), providing a natural, balanced light free of distortions. The integration of the light source and the glass body is the result of advanced design processes, combining traditional modeling with CAD tools to achieve harmonious forms and high lighting efficiency. Cangini & Tucci also offers bespoke solutions for architects, interior designers and contract clients. Through detailed renderings and dedicated design support, the company can create custom lighting for any space. Each product can be tailored to meet specific aesthetic and functional requirements, while preserving its uniqueness, craftsmanship and stylistic coherence. From prototyping to final production, the entire process is managed internally to ensure consistency and excellence.
