Luna is a true innovation and the highlight of the Occhio installation in the legendary Villa Necchi Campiglio. The new series will be presented to the public for the first time at Milan Design Week 2023. At first glance, sensual and mysterious like the moon – pure beauty. At second glance, a masterpiece of lighting technology. This innovation is based on the magical light source ‘Fireball’, which seems to float like a celestial body in the shining glass sphere. 

At Milan Design Week 2023, Occhio celebrates the future of light with 'new horizons – an immersive experience', located in the glass pavilion of the legendary Villa Necchi Campiglio, right in the heart of the city. Visitors can expect a unique presentation: the perfect stage to showcase Occhio's vision of a new culture of light. The European innovation leader thus makes a powerful statement in the international environment of the design metropolis and thus takes the next step on the path of constant internationalisation.

With Mito cosmo, Occhio creates a completely new category - and removes the application limits of luminaires from an innovitve point of view. So the curtain rises on a spectacular show when the rings of Mito cosmo perform their impressive choreography in various arrangements - just by touching the Occhio air app or making a magical gesture.

Spacious glow, downlight, ambient light, floating light cloud, perfect table lighting: Occhio offers all of this in one series with Mito cosmo, breaking the known boundaries of lighting design.

With its table and reading luminaire series Gioia, Occhio opens up completely new - and once again writes design history. The combination of design and innovation is as unique as the joy of moving the luminaires almost weightlessly, directing the light with simple gestures and changing it as desired - an almost magical experience. The reading luminiarie Gioia lettura is a true all-round talent: with its powerful ambience light, focused reading light and variable colour temperature, it creates any desired atmosphere - and surpasses anything that has been seen before.

On one of the many small islands in the Stockholm archipelago stands a house that offers the perfect light situation for every season. The large windows let in a lot of sunlight from outside and connect the nature of the surroundings with the interior. In the dark Nordic winter, the various luminaires from Occhio replace the daylight. This creates an atmosphere that makes the house a cozy home at all times.

The sophisticated and individual lighting systems from Occhio find the perfect solution for even the most individual situation. This is also the case for this very special place: a houseboat on the waters of Berlin.

Shining light in leafy dress: The Kö-Bogen II office building in Düsseldorf wraps its elf in fresh foliage - what inspires in rich green during the day fascinates after sunset with light by Occhio as a contrast between light and dark.

Stunning, linear and fascinatingly flexible: Occhio presents the world premiere of the table luminaires Taglio at Milano Design Week 2022. As the form and function of the Taglio clearly show, the latest creation of Occhio marks a new chapter in the design and use of table luminaires.

Once again Occhio is making design history. With the Gioia table and reading luminaire series, the premium lighting company has opened entirely new horizons. The synthesis of design and innovation is as extraordinary as the joy moving the luminaires smoothly, directing the light with simple gestures and making the adjustments one desires – a magical experience. Occhio has named the flagship of its new Gioia luminaire series equilibrio, Italian for »balance«.

The new Gioia lettura by Occhio – a sculptural appearance with almost magical functions , for unique light settings. Fascinating mobility, combined with powerful uplight and downlight, asymmetrical focus light and »color tune«, intuitively controllable via gesture: With Gioia lettura, people become the lighting designers of their living space.

In one of Shanghai's most prestigious shopping districts, the German design lighting company Occhio opened its spectacular new flagship store at the beginning of 2022. A strategically important step towards the internationalisation outside of Europe.

A brilliant opening: Occhio, the Munich-based maker of design luminaires, opened a spectacular flagship store on Kurfürstendamm in the very heart of Berlin on 17 December 2021, staking out its place as an international player in this major cosmopolitan city.

In Munich's oldest townhouse, called "Schreiberei", Tohru Nakamura and Marc Uebelherr found the ideal location for an extraordinary concept — both culinary and conceptual. In collaboration with Occhio, a harmonious staging design for light in an exciting interior-design concept was created.

The branch located in the prime city centre of Stuttgart delights with South Pacific charm. The hip new restaurant Malo invites its guests to enjoy an excursion into the jungle – a lush plant world commingled with high-quality design that vibrantly emerges through a harmonious lighting concept from Occhio.

Iconic, sculptural, expressive – Mito aura floats in the center of the room. With its characteristic, ring-shaped uplight and powerful, glare-free downlight, it creates unique lighting moods. Mito aura complements the Mito series with the perfect luminaire for the central ceiling connection.

Occhio world novelty: Edizione Lusso – the exclusive edition of the successful Mito series with curated materials such as finest ascot leather, precious marble and selected surfaces. Edizione Lusso is available in different style worlds across the entire Mito family and appeals to people who do not compromise on the exclusivity of interior design.
