Sculptors of light

Established in 2019, Diaphan Studio is an atelier founded by Alessandro Giacomelli and Dominique Wolniewicz, respectively a gemologist and a lighting designer. Their approach blends a deep exploration of light’s optical properties with a contemporary interpretation of crystalline structures, often imperceptible to the human eye. Each creation is a sculpture made of light, casting delicate projections into its surroundings. More than objects, these luminous works transform spaces, allowing light to unfold in a mesmerising symphony of color and form. Less than one year after it was established, Diaphan was selected to showcase its first collection at SaloneSatellite, the young designers section at Milan Design Week. In the 2023 edition, they presented their new collections which lead to their works being distributed worldwide and exhibited in fairs such as Salon Art+Design and Miami Design.

What we do

The studio is committed to excellence in design and craftsmanship, striving to set new standards of quality and visual effects by fusing light together with carefully crafted objects. With a hands-on approach to every project - testing with prototypes and a broad range of lighting solutions - we create a new world where interior objects blend with unique art pieces, giving birth to exceptional colours and forms. Combining a research based approach with a contemporary interpretation of often invisible natural geometries, a blend of refined materials and sophisticated light components, Diaphan holds the art of a permanent value.
