Anima Lamp
Made by Davide Groppi
Anima arrives as pure reduction. Designed by Davide Groppi in collaboration with Giorgio Rava, it strips the lamp to its most elemental geometry: a slender stem rising from a discreet base, finished at its crown with a thin, open circle of metal. The form reads less as an object than as a drawing in space.
Groppi has spent decades exploring what he calls emotional minimalism, a practice rooted in the conviction that light is felt before it is seen. Anima embodies that sensibility with unusual directness. Its indirect emission produces atmosphere rather than illumination in the conventional sense, softening a room without imposing itself upon it.

Frequently Asked Questions
What kind of light does the Anima lamp emit?
Anima uses indirect light emission, meaning the light is directed away from the source and reflected to produce a diffused, ambient glow. This approach prioritizes atmosphere over task illumination, making it well suited to living spaces, bedrooms, and hospitality environments.
Who designed the Anima lamp?
Anima was designed by Davide Groppi in collaboration with Giorgio Rava. Groppi is a Piacenza-based designer whose practice centers on emotional minimalism, an approach that treats light as a sensory and psychological experience rather than a purely functional one.
Can the Anima be used as a table lamp as well as a floor lamp?
Yes. While classified as a floor lamp, Anima's proportions and slender silhouette make it equally appropriate on low furniture such as side tables, shelving, or console surfaces where its drawn-line form can be appreciated at closer range.
What materials is the Anima lamp made from?
The lamp is constructed in metal throughout, with a finish that reflects Davide Groppi's commitment to precision and restraint. The crown is formed as a thin, open circle, giving the piece its characteristic graphic quality.
How does Davide Groppi's design philosophy inform the Anima?
Groppi's work consistently questions how little a lamp can be while still fulfilling its purpose. With Anima, the object is reduced to near-abstraction: a line, a circle, a source of light. The design does not call attention to itself but to the quality of light it produces and the space it shapes.
