Studio Due

What Studio Due does

Studio Due Trade S.r.l. is an Italian designer and manufacturer of professional outdoor LED lighting fixtures, founded in 1982 and operationally headquartered in Viterbo, Italy, with a registered office in Rome. The company serves professional specifiers — architects, urban planners, lighting designers, pool/fountain builders, marine engineers, and industrial facility operators — supplying luminaires for architectural, landscape, aquatic/marine, and industrial applications. Documented installations include The Kelpies (UK), the Old Royal Naval College (UK), Kuala Lumpur Tower (Malaysia), the Norwegian Parliament, and Arts Centre Melbourne (Australia).

The product portfolio spans four primary form factors (round spotlights, square/rectangular projectors and wall washers, linear bars, and inground fixtures) distributed across roughly 30 product sub-brands, including ARCHILED, PARLED, ARIA/AQUA, CLEVER SPOT, CITYCOLOR, COMPACT, MEGAWHITE, ARCHIBAR, SLIMBAR PLUS/FLAT, and TERRA/TERRA PLUS/M-TERRA. Technical differentiation rests on environmental durability: IP67 and IP68 ingress protection, AISI 316 stainless steel construction, marine grade treatment for permanent underwater use, and configurable optics spanning 5° to 60° beam angles with optional elliptical projection filters. Output options include RGBW, RGBWA, RGBWA+UV, tunable white, and monochromatic variants; control integration covers DMX-RDM, DALI, and proprietary PLUG-IN protocols. All products are designed and manufactured in Italy.

Studio Due operates a direct-to-buyer go-to-market via its e-commerce-enabled website (studiodue.com), where customers configure fixtures, review technical datasheets, and submit purchase requests. Pricing is published in USD with a publicly available pricelist; many configurations are quoted "on request," indicating project-based custom pricing. Revenue is generated entirely through hardware unit sales across architectural color-changers, monochromatic fixtures, and specialized submersible luminaires. The company maintains a workforce of 11–50 employees, has no disclosed external investment, no distributor network in the source data, and no M&A, partnership, or leadership transitions documented.
