After a few years working at a famous manufacturer of light fittings, he started a business of his own. Alone he designed and manufactured, with makeshift tools, a halogen table lamp that he called Daphine.<br> <br> So the <b>LUMINA</b> company was born, in a basement, in 1975.<br> The essential and smart design of this lamp (still one of <b>Lumina</b> best-sellers nowadays), along with its exceptional functionality and great reliability, led it to success surpassing expectations.<br> Daphine perfectly interprets Tommaso Cimini's productive philosophy. In other words, 'A little lamp with a lot of light'.<br> Attention was then immediately focused on functionality, quality and reliability for the product. This opened doors to export markets, U.S.A. and Germany in the first instance.<br> In the following years Cimini designed other families of lamps, always with original peculiarities, and he recruited several famous designers to work with him, such as Yaacov Kaufman, Walter Monici, Studio DDL, Lorenzo Stano, Emanule Ricci and many others. In the early 80's, developments compelled the company to leave its initial small workshop to move to a 11.000 m² (13,160 yd²) estate. Later, a new 2.000 m² (2,392 yd²) building was added for varnish coating processes.<br> <br> In 1990, two controlled foreign companies, <b>Lumina Deutschland</b> and <b>Lumina Schweiz</b>, were created in order to cater the two markets (Germany and Switzerland) with a more accurate service, as the presence of <b>Lumina</b> products in these markets was particularly eminent. <b>Lumina</b> keeps on growing due to the fact that its original designs are still successful; and high quality and reliability levels of its products are maintained. This is also supported by an ethos of focused customers services, an approach which makes business relationships easy and pleasant.<br> <br> <b>Lumina's</b> constant research into techniques and design, along with its trading reliability allowed it to gain recognition by institutions and museums in America and Europe, as well as by clients and businessmen worldwide. <b>Lumina</b> products and services are available in over thirty five countries, through a network of over thirty sales representatives and sole importers and several direct dealers. Quality and customer service are ensured by a design system and a manufacturing cycle running inside the company. The product design and engineering, prototype realization and assembling are all done by the company itself. Varnish coating is carried out by a subcontractor company which is controlled by <b>Lumina's</b> owners.<br> <br> Tommaso Cimini, before his sudden death by an aircraft accident in 1997, was able to create such a company structure, where efficient managers, technicians and operators work under the leadership of his two sons Ettore and Andrea. This has secured the development and continuity of the company following the same philosophy of the founder.<br> </font></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="100%" colspan="3"> </td> </tr> <tr> <td width="100%" colspan="3"> <p align="center"><font size="1" face="Arial"><a href="http://www.lightingforum.com" target="_top">Lightingforum.Com All Rights Reserved.</a></font></td> </tr> </table> </div> <table border="0" width="50%" cellspacing="1"> <tr> <td width="100%" height="18"><a href="../mainmenu1.htm" target="_top"><font face="Arial" size="2"><b>Back To Lightingforum</b></font></a></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="100%" height="21"> <hr> </td> </tr> <tr> <td width="100%" height="18"><font face="Arial" size="2"><b><a href="http://www.merchantmanager.com/lightingforum/storefront.asp?pageno=1090" target="main">Sospensione</a></b></font></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="100%" height="18"><font face="Arial" size="2"><b><a href="http://www.merchantmanager.com/lightingforum/storefront.asp?pageno=1091" target="main">On The Floor</a></b></font></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="100%" height="18"> <font face="Arial" size="2"><b><a href="http://www.merchantmanager.com/lightingforum/storefront.asp?pageno=1109" target="main">Desk and Table</a></b></font> </td> </tr> <tr> <td width="100%" height="18"> <font face="Arial" size="2"><b><a href="http://www.merchantmanager.com/lightingforum/storefront.asp?pageno=1110" target="main">On The Wall</a></b></font> </td> </tr> <tr> <td width="100%" height="21"> <hr> </td> </tr> <tr> <td width="100%" height="18"><a href="http://www.merchantmanager.com/lightingforum/storefront.asp?pageno=111"><font face="Arial" size="2"><b>Search Our Catalog</b></font></a></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="100%" height="18"><a href="http://www.merchantmanager.com/lightingforum/mmcalc.asp?id=lightingforum" target="main"><font face="Arial" size="2"><b>View Shopping Cart</b></font></a></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="100%" height="18"><a href="../feedback.htm"><font face="Arial" size="2"><b>Contact Us</b></font></a></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="100%" align="left" height="34"><a href="../faq.htm" target="main"><font face="Arial" size="2"><b>Frequently Asked Questions</b></font></a></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="100%" align="left" height="18"><a href="../privacy_policy.htm" target="main"><font face="Arial" size="2"><b>Privacy & Use Policy</b></font></a></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="100%" align="left" height="18"><a href="../about_lightingforum.htm" target="main"><font face="Arial" size="2"><b>About Lightingforum</b></font></a></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="100%" align="left" height="16"><a href="../site_map.htm" target="main"><font face="Arial" size="1">Site Map</font></a></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="100%" height="18"><a href="../mainmenu1.htm" target="_top"><font face="Arial" size="2"><b>Back To Lightingforum</b></font></a></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="100%" height="21"> <hr> </td> </tr> </table> <p> </p> </body>
