Vera is not just a lamp that illuminates, but also the story of an illusion; the bulb is a hologram that appears when you turn it on and disappears when you turn it off, like a small magic trick crafted from glass and light. Vera features a transparent glass diffuser shaped like an inverted cone resting on a cylindrical aluminum base, capable of simultaneously generating direct, indirect, and diffused light thanks to a high-precision internal reflector.

Purchase Technical Sheet

Looking for the right color temperature for your environment or another finish? Send us a message and we will help you choose based on where you plan to place it.

Worried it might be too dim for reading or working? Vera was conceived as an ambient and atmospheric light, not as a desk task lamp: tell us where you would like to place it and if you need a more technical light source nearby, and we will help you balance the environment. No obligation.

An Illusion Made of Glass and Light

When turned off, Vera is an inverted cone of crystal-clear glass resting on an aluminum cylinder, making it almost invisible in the room. When turned on, the bulb appears inside it like a small luminous heart suspended in mid-air, while the rest of the body remains transparent and crystalline. It is an effect designed to amaze anyone seeing it for the first time, yet in everyday use, it becomes a discreet and elegant presence on a nightstand, a console, or a low coffee table.

Three Types of Light in a Single Body

Vera's internal reflector does not simply diffuse light; it blends direct, indirect, and diffused light within the same fixture. This technical detail resolves a common issue when choosing designer table lamps—the risk of flat or overly focused, harsh illumination. The dimmer is integrated into the base, allowing you to adjust the intensity. You can choose between 2700K, which is warmer and more enveloping, or 3000K, which is slightly more neutral and bright, depending on whether Vera is accompanying an evening read or a more vibrant living corner.

Where to Place It Without Getting the Proportions Wrong

With a diffuser measuring 50 cm in diameter (base Ø 12 cm) and a height of 58 cm, Vera perfectly fits on consoles, sideboards, end tables, or generously sized nightstands. On very small surfaces, it risks looking oversized compared to its support. If your space is limited, it is best to check the exact measurements of your tabletop rather than relying solely on pictures.

Vera Limited Edition Amaranth for Volumnia

On the occasion of Davide Groppi's "Un'ora di luce" (An Hour of Light) exhibition at Volumnia in Piacenza, a limited edition of Vera in a lacquered amaranth finish was introduced. The cylindrical aluminum base steps away from natural tones to embrace a vibrant red, while the transparent glass cone remains unchanged. This version is designed for those who want the same magical illusion of light coupled with a bolder chromatic personality. Contact us for availability and pricing regarding this limited-run edition.

Davide Groppi: Light as a Material to Design

Since the late 1980s, Davide Groppi has been designing and producing fixtures in Piacenza that treat light as a material to sculpt, rather than just a function. Vera stems from this design philosophy—an object that plays with perception, where the surprise (the bulb appearing and disappearing) becomes as integral to the design as the light output itself. The light becomes an illusion, the bulb is a hologram that appears upon turning on, generating direct, indirect, and diffused light, while the high-precision reflector ensures an exceptionally high quality of light.

Vera FAQ: Your Questions, Our Answers

Color temperature, brightness, table space: the most common queries before choosing a designer table lamp.

Does Vera provide enough light for reading or working at a table?

Vera is designed as an ambient light with a wide, soft distribution, rather than a targeted task reading lamp. With its built-in dimmer, you can increase its intensity for more functional use; however, if your primary need is reading or working on that surface for long periods, we recommend pairing it with a more directional light source. We can help you find the right combination for your environment.

Is it better to choose the 2700K or 3000K version?

2700K delivers a warmer light, ideal for relaxation areas, bedrooms, and living rooms where you want an intimate, cozy atmosphere. 3000K is slightly more neutral and brighter, which is recommended if Vera will sit alongside cooler light sources or if the room receives little natural light. If in doubt, tell us which room it is for and we will advise you on the most consistent temperature based on your existing lighting.

With its 50 cm diameter, where can I place it so it doesn't look oversized?

Vera works beautifully on consoles, sideboards, end tables, or spacious nightstands where its scenic presence has room to breathe. On surfaces shallower than 50-60 cm, it risks looking too large for its support. Measuring your available space beforehand will help you avoid this common mistake.

Does the price include a warranty and certificate of authenticity?
