What Giopato and Coombes does

Giopato & Coombes S.r.l. is an Italian luxury lighting sculpture studio founded in 2014 by co-founders Cristiana and Christopher and headquartered in an ancient Villa Veneta in Treviso. The company designs and produces handcrafted lighting fixtures — pendants, chandeliers, wall, floor, and table lamps — organized into 15+ distinct collections (Bolle, Soffio, Softspot, Nokori, Moonstone, Milky Way, Maehwa, Scarabei, Gioielli, Gem, Flauti, Bruma, Dewdrops, Cirque, plus frosted variants). Core production relies on traditional Italian artisan techniques, primarily hand-blown Murano glass combined with brass metalwork, marble bases, and — in newer collections like Scarabei — ancient earth casting of molten aluminum into sand molds.

All products are made-to-order with extensive customization of metal finishes, marble types, glass colors, and compositional arrangements. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed; standard orders require a 40% deposit with the 60% balance due before delivery, while fully bespoke commissions require 100% upfront payment. Distribution combines 50+ authorized dealers across 25+ countries with two company-owned galleries (Milan's Santa Marta quarter, Paris's Le Marais), direct studio contact, and a wholly-owned Korean subsidiary (Giopato & Coombes Korea). Customer segments are luxury residential (primary), hospitality and contract (hotels and restaurants such as Monograph Hotel, Sticks'n Sushi, Renaa, La Granada), and interior designers and architects (who receive professional discounts). The company is privately held with no disclosed external funding, operates on a small €80,000 share capital, and relies on gallery exhibitions and design-event presence (Milan Design Week, Paris Design Week, Zona Maco) for brand positioning.
