Established in 1969, Cini & Nils has made quality into one of its strong points. It is a creative boutique where ideas are skillfully transformed into products that house the latest LED technology and whose lines are clean, rigorous and rich of detail. Light enriches our lives, reveals the shapes and colors that surround us, evokes emotions and sensations. For fifty years we have been designing indoor and outdoor design lamps, passionately seeking for the right lighting.

Our led lamps are the expression of an innovative proposal, sustainable and interconnected to the most common smart devices. In the shapes and materials of each collection you can find our story, our experimentation, the unique concept of the designer and all the quality of Made in Italy.

Cini & Nils was established in 1969 when two designers felt the need to make their designs directly available to the market. When Mario Melocchi teamed up with the architect and designer Franco Bettonica to find the company, the duo started out by marketing a range of products, many of which have since been bought by the New York MoMA, including the Bar, Tabletop and Desktop collections, the swivel Magazine Stand, the Cubobar and the Game Table. It was in 1972 that Franco Bettonica came up with the idea for Cuboluce, the link in the chain between objects and lighting devices and the progenitor of a new generation of products that marked Cini&Nils’ début in the field of lighting.

The company’s artistic output pays due attention to the importance of environmental sustainability and interaction with the user by using the latest generation of IoT technologies. Precision, care for detail and elegance are the constants that have always been passed on from one design to the next, contributing to creating collections whose byword is innovation in style and technology.

Working as a team, Franco Bettonica and Mario Melocchi created innovations that wrote chapters in the history of lighting: Cuboluce, Gradi, Tenso and TensoClic. The firm’s art director Luca Bettonica has since designed such products as Convivio, Assolo and Acqua and created a collection dedicated to art, introducing the sculptress Christiane Beer. In 2018, Cini&Nils embarked on a new synergic partnership with the architect Alessandro Scandurra SSA and in 2020 with the architect Giancarlo Leone.
