Blog - Ramun by Alessandro Mendini: A Symphony of Light, Form & Emotion

At Etna Studio, we see lighting as more than utility—it’s a core part of design and architecture, shaping mood, comfort, and wellbeing at home. Few have captured this philosophy as beautifully as Alessandro Mendini, whose collaboration with Ramun produced four iconic lamps: Amuleto, Opale, Campanello, and Astro.

Each lamp reflects Mendini’s poetic style while embracing modern technology. Importantly, all Ramun designs are eye doctor tested, ensuring safe, flicker-free light that supports long-term vision. They are also RoHS & EMC approved, meeting the highest standards of environmental safety and electromagnetic compatibility.

Amuleto — The Modern-Day Lantern of Lore

• Design & Essence: Three interconnected circles symbolising sun, moon, and earth. A sculptural yet functional form.
• Technical Innovation: 51 dimming levels with high-CRI LEDs, flicker-free and UV-free.
• Certified Quality: Ophthalmologist-approved and RoHS & EMC compliant.
• Legacy: Good Design Award winner and featured in major museums.

Amuleto embodies the balance between artistry, safety, and technological precision. Ideal for projects that merge refined aesthetics with everyday comfort.

Opale — Murano Glass Meets Mendini’s Vision

• Crafted by Masters: Handmade in Murano in collaboration with Venini.
• Atmosphere: Soft, opalescent light in hues of turquoise, lilac, and grey.
• Health & Safety: Eye doctor tested and RoHS & EMC approved.

A striking example of how timeless materials enrich modern interiors while respecting global standards.

Campanello — Light as a Companion

• Playful Form: Portable, touch-activated, and charm-like in shape.
• Multi-Sensory: Includes music box melodies by Bach, Chopin, and Puccini.
• Safe & Certified: Tested by ophthalmologists and RoHS & EMC compliant.
• Cultural Recognition: Part of permanent collections in international museums.

Mendini’s Legacy

Mendini believed design should stir imagination and emotion. With Ramun, he created sculptures of light—pieces that illuminate, protect, and inspire while meeting international standards of safety and sustainability.

At Etna Studio, our work in interior design often draws from this philosophy: blending timeless artistry with modern comfort, whether in small transformations or full-scale projects.
