Light / is the element we work and play with every day /"Light is the element we work and play with every day. The play dimension is necessary to stimulate creativity, an essential ingredient in all our processes and which helps us to aspire to the best possible results.
There is no future without curiosity, there is no growth without paying attention to a changing world. lt is exciting to see people who stay with the company for many years and still enjoy doing their jobs. Despite the 90-year history we have an enthusiastic and curious attitude of those who increasingly want to experiment."
We started in 1928. Since then we here at Targetti have never stopped designing and creating indoor and outdoor architectural light fixtures. For almost a century our products, which are synonymous with innovation, research and attention to detail have been lighting the most prestigious architectural and artistic works, creating extraordinary atmospheres and evoking real emotions.
Our appearance and identity today are the result of the experience and professionalism we have gained over time, which we want to share with our partners and the quality of the environment we live in.

/ Open to influences /We were founded for light. We know how to shape it, expand its boundaries and horizons, express it in unusual ways and make it interact with other elements and materials.
Targetti Light Art Collection
The Targetti Light Art Collection was created with this idea in mind, to use light as a means of expression; light interpreted by the sensitivity of the artists. Targetti Light Art Collection is a collection of contemporary works of art, more than 40 “light pictures”, commissioned from young artists who are now among the most important on the international scene.
Targetti HUB
Targetti HUBs, places for dialogue and sharing around the world. They express our ideas and values. They are the expression of our desire to meet our partners, lighting designers, architects and interior designers in a place that really represents us. One word is not sufficient to describe them: they are laboratories, showrooms, meeting and event locations and dynamic and evolving environments that are open to dialogue and discussion with our partners and customers.
