Karman
Karman stands for "the whole of actions leading every single man to achieve his own destiny", as Mr. Davide Diamantini says: a 40-years-old entrepreneur and founder of the company. Davide likes to say: "I've been growing up in a Design sphere, in an historical and well-known company founded 1964 from my father and a partner. After that years went by I felt it was necessary to build up my own personal working universe, where I could freely express myself; completely unbind from compromizes one necessary has to undergo when he's acting together with partners" Karman Srl was born in 2005 including in its collection a wide range of objects: photo frames, side tables, vases, clothes' hangers and some lamps, as well. Thanks to its previous experience the company starts immediately having success though Davide is not fully satisfied, yet. Finally in 2008 he understands which is the right path he likes to walk: Lighting! He's fascinated from that and decides that in order to achieve that famous destiny, all his actions will go though that special universe that gives so much to poetry, dream and creativity. The ultimate project becomes true with the collaboration he starts up with Matteo Ugolini, a young designer who's able to interpret Davide's wishes in the best way and spreads the brand. The entire collection introduced at Euroluce 2009, i.e. SKY is a complete family of lamps (table-, suspension- and floor lamps) casting imaginary constellations all around together with light. To everybody a different task about the way to accomplish his own personal journey in the infinite space, accomplishing the achievement of one's own destiny and one's own karma(n). The designer Matteo Ugolini from Karman doesn’t describe himself as designer, he doesn’t even like all society life that Design movement can create: he just designs what he likes more, his aim is to excite and create emotion, his roots are hold to the remembering of the past and nature that is deeply connected to. Very often we can find nature in his creations: it comes closer to human life just like it has always happened in the past. That process helps human race to come closer to that important element we are all gradually departing from: nature.
