Simbiosi is all about re-thinking the idea of a chandelier. With Simbiosi, Davide Groppi has reduced the various "chandelier" elements into minimalist forms that can be connected in a number of extraordinarily flexible ways to create a wide range of resulting aesthetics. As a whole, the eight diffusers that comprise Simbiosi appear weightless; its linear support wires almost invisible. In marked contrast to these linear forms are the very thin red wires that organically meander to each of the light sources bringing them to life. While the meandering of each red wire is similar to each other, it is ultimately unique - it is the relation of these vertical linear components to their connective amorphic horizontal counterparts that fundamentally underscores the "symbiosis" of this design.

Davide Groppi (born 1963 in Piacenza, Italy) grew up designing and constructing mechanical inventions with his father. According to the designer, “My father taught me not only how to put things together and create from spare parts, but also how to appreciate beauty and construct things solidly. Together, we built a pinball machine, a telegraph and … a lamp.” He began formerly working in mechanical design in 1985 before he started selling lamps of his own design in 1988. Groppi became well-known for his lighting work, which conveys emotion, weightlessness, and simplicity. He has collaborated with a number of prominent brands including 967 Design, Boffi, Christofle, De Padova, Harry Thaler, Omar Carraglia, Paola Lenti, and Sara Frattini. Davide Groppi's work has earned a number of honors over the years, including the Edida Award (2011), Design Plus Award (2014) and the ADI Compasso d'Oro Mention of Honour (2016).
