Davide Groppi's TRATTO reimagines light as pure narrative. Its core philosophy: "switch off to illuminate, switch on to tell a story." This transforms light into an immersive, silent language, articulating "Fundamental States of Light." A minimalist synthesis, it shapes emotional geographies with conceptual purity, embodying Italian design's ethereal engagement. TRATTO is light to be felt, not just seen.
TRATTO's genius lies in technical discretion. A specialized side-emitting LED strip adheres seamlessly, dissolving the source into pure, continuous light. Available in 6m/12m lengths, 24V DC with CRI >90, offering 2700K or 3000K output. Robust power bases and remote drivers support versatile dimming (DALI, PUSH, 0-10V, TRIAC), ensuring architectural adaptability. This engineering crafts an ethereal luminous line via invisible integration.
Unveiled in 2010, TRATTO quickly earned critical acclaim. Its innovative linear illumination and conceptual depth were honored with the prestigious Compasso d'Oro ADI Award in 2014. This revered accolade underscores TRATTO's significant contribution to contemporary lighting design, recognizing Davide Groppi’s singular vision in reshaping interaction with artificial light within refined architectural contexts.
TRATTO subtly defines and transforms interiors. As an architectural element, it traces paths, articulates ceilings, or bathes walls in a continuous, shadowless glow, softening and sensualizing surfaces. Its adhesive system allows discreet application across diverse textures, creating an adaptable, imperceptible presence. Architects, designers, and luxury collectors choose TRATTO for its capacity to craft bespoke atmospheric experiences, weaving light into spatial fabric with understated authority.
