In 1928 Targetti begins in the heart of Florence's historical center. It's a little artisan shop, selling lamps and related goods. In the late 190s Targetti starts producing chandeliers. The dimensions of the firm grow quickly and it becomes a fully integrated industry equipped with modern machineries and specialized technicians.
Today the company produces and markets over 3000 lighting fixtures and systems which are the perfect synthesis of function and design. Technically advanced lighting fixtures backed by top level research meet with the pure shapes and essential lines of consistently up-to-date designs, suitable for any architectural context.
These features make Targetti the ideal partner for professionals, specialist distributors and corporate clients such as Ferrari, Mercedes, Peugeot, Max Mara, Levi's, Benetton, McDonald's... as well as bodies and institutions who have chosen the Group's companies to illuminate authentic pieces of mankind's heritage such as Leonardo da Vinci's Last Supper in Milan and Michelangelo's David in Florence, the Singapore Opera House, Piazza San Marco in Venice, Notre Dame in Paris, as well as important locations such as the Bilbao subway and the McLaren Technology Centre, designed by lord Norman Foster.
Product Philosophy
Targetti operates in the field of interior and exterior architectural lighting offering products and ad “hoc” solutions, developed in response to specific functional challenges and to stimulate architects to create peerless lighting atmospheres that help underscore the relevancy of the architecture.
Targetti Interior is a collection of lighting products combining strong technical performances with high decorative features and conceived to be easily fit in any architectural project.
Targetti Exterieur is a lighting programme developed for creative lighting of architecture and landscapes, through products with sophisticated lighting perfomances, using cutting edge technology and high-quality materials.
LuceViva by Targetti is a collection of digital control lighting systems and surfaces for indoor and outdoor applications to create dynamic scenarios playing with colour changes and images.
Light of Florence by Targetti is a collection of light fixtures for valuable artistic areas and places of worship conceived to respect architecture and to show without appearing.
Each product in the catalogue can, indeed, be modified and calibrated to meet the customer’s specific requirements, working closely with the person directly responsible for the project. The McLaren Technology Centre designed by Lord Norman Foster, the Paris-Orly AIrport, the Uffizi Gallery in Florence are just some of the ways in which we have applied this approach, and they should be interpreted, above all, as an ability to handle complexity in terms of both design as weel as relations whit different actors.
