Daphine is a true icon of contemporary lighting design, celebrated for its purity of function and timeless aesthetic. Originally conceived in 1975 by Italian designer and engineer Tommaso Cimini, its design is based on a remarkably simple yet ingenious concept: an articulated two-segment arm, a pivoting diffuser, and a cylindrical base housing the transformer and control components.
Created according to Cimini’s philosophy of “Lots of light, not much lamp,” Daphine delivers exceptional task illumination while maintaining an elegant, understated presence. More than four decades after its introduction, its form and functionality remain virtually unchanged—a testament to the enduring strength of the original design.
Its versatility has seen Daphine used in countless settings, from library reading desks and pianos to jewellery displays, retail environments, offices, and homes. Widely recognised as a design classic, it forms part of the permanent collections of major museums including the Brooklyn Museum, Musée des Arts Décoratifs in Paris, Neue Sammlung in Munich, and the Triennale di Milano.
Today, Daphine is available with advanced LED technology, offering superior light quality, improved energy efficiency, low operating temperatures, and dimmable or dual-intensity control options. Combining technical innovation with enduring elegance, Daphine remains one of the most influential and recognisable task lamps ever created. Designed by Tommaso Cimini and made by Lumina in Italy.
