The Time of Making: Why Each Lamp Is Born After the Sale

Every CristofaroLuce lamp is not born from stock.
It is born from a name.

The moment someone chooses a lamp, the process begins. Not before. There are no shelves filled with finished objects waiting to be shipped. There is only the time of making.

Each gesture is real: cutting, finishing, assembling. Small imperfections inevitably appear and are never erased, because they speak of the hand that created them. This is slow, conscious, physical work.

While the lamp takes shape, a thought accompanies the process.
The name written on the order.
The city where the lamp will live.
The room that will welcome its light.

Producing only after the sale is an ethical choice before it is a productive one. It means refusing excess, waste, and sterile repetition. Each lamp exists because someone desired it — not because it had to be sold.

This is why no two lamps are ever identical.
This is why every small imperfection is not a flaw, but a human trace.

Light, before being switched on, must deserve to exist.
