The use of the oil lamps goes back thousands of years. For much of this time it was the only source of continuous light. It was also very efficient: through capillarity, the paraffin was sucked up a little at a time by the wick. Just like its predecessor, this new Paraffina is equally efficient with its precious source of energy.

Nowadays LED lighting is ubiquitous, and given how much energy and emissions it saves, that is a wonderful thing. 

Back in the day, ALESSI were one of the first brands to really adopt LED lighting as a design challenge. The LED revolution was still in its infancy when we were asked to work on a range of extraordinary, eye-catching LED bulbs.

The vision? To tell the story of light, with four unique lightbulbs as the protagonists.
