Guzzini Group - Fimag The Guzzini group is made up of threecompanies. In order of incorporation, they are : Fratelli Guzzini Spa, iGuzzini Illuminazione Spa, Teuco Guzzini Spa.All are headquartered in Recanati Italy.Although each Guzzini company operates independently from the others and in a different market sector, the Guzzini companies also share the following common things: - A natural propensity toward producingobjects for both domestic environments as well as for common areas; - A strong predilection for quality andperformance by choosing only the most modern and innovative materials; - A predisposition and true vocationfor innovation, both in design and in technology; - A deep conviction that IndustrialDesign plays a central role in each and every company. Fimag, which stands for FinanziariaMariano Guzzini, was established in 1982 with these basic, underlying and unifying precepts. Although they each have their separate operations and companies, Mariano Guzzini's children and grandchildren are all reunited under the Fimag umbrella.iGuzzini - The History and CompanyPhilosophy We have worked in and for “light”since 1958. This was the year when the Harvey Creazioni, a small company that produced lamps for the home, was founded. Today we are the leading Italian manufacturer in the “Lighting” market, and we rank among the top European manufacturers. We aren’t satisfied by simply making good lights. We want be the creators of good lighting: light that shines in a room, a house, a building, a museum, a cathedral, a company, a plaza, an airport, and, yes . . . even an entire city. Good lighting has to be created with the awareness that it has to integrate with its environment, taking care not to invade it, darken it, or violate it. Light must be respected, and light has to, in turn, respect the nature of people and things. The iGuzzini mission istherefore to study light, to know lightand to make it known; improving theintegration with architecture throughindustrial design. Because of this, alarge part of what we do is to offerconsultation on lighting techniques, both in the design phase and as an after-sales service. Famous architects and designers have consulted us since the very beginning iGuzzini's operations. Light design is not just for spaces;good design is also an awareness of all aspects that are tied to the quality of space and the ambiance that is created by light, both indoors as well as outdoors. Because of this conviction, iGuzzini has worked with a large number of researchers, physicians, sociologists, and physicists who hail from the most important international research organizations: Harvard University, M.I.T Boston, Università “La Sapienza” in Rome, Politecnicoof Milan, Fraunhofer Institute, CentralInstitute for Restoration, CNR. Awards and recognition iGuzzini products can be found in allkinds of different locations: airports, historical districts, museums, shops, archaeological areas, and multifunctional spaces. We have received some of the best European awards for industrial design, such as the Gold Compass, conferred to iGuzzini three times by the ADI, (“Associazione per il Disegno Industriale” / Industrial Design Association). In 1989 the Gold Compass was won for “Shuttle” designed by Bruno Gecchelin; in 1991 it was given to all the Guzzini companies, and in 1998 the Gold Compass was again won for “Nuvola” designed by R. Piano & Meccano. iGuzzini headquarters Mario Cucinella’s project for ourindustrial headquarters expresses the desire to unite natural elements thatare tied to the environment thatsurrounds us with artificial man-made elements. It is therefore a work of architecture and nature, of technology, and of respect for the environment. Our environment is not only the landscaping that surrounds the buildings, but above all the interior where real people live and work. This shows the level of sophistication and care we have for design and those minute technical details that are dedicated to creating liveable and natural spaces made of air, natural light, and clean energy. With this project, we embarked upon on a search for architectural precision and an environmental and mental ecology. By doing this, we found a balance and both artificial and natural beauty.
