Stilnovo at W. Atelier Singapore — the masters of Italian light.
Intuition, irony and eighty years of lighting history.
Founded in Milan in 1946, Stilnovo made lighting history from the 1940s to the 1980s through collaborations with Achille and Pier Giacomo Castiglioni, Richard Sapper, Gae Aulenti, Joe Colombo and Ettore Sottsass. Today its icons — Saliscendi, Topo, Periscopio, Halley — are re-engineered with LED, blending craftsmanship with industry. Presented in Singapore by W. Atelier.

Eighty years of light, one Milanese signature.
Stilnovo was founded in Milan in 1946, in the first light of post-war Italy, and for four decades it sat at the centre of the country's design revolution. Its lamps were born from intuition, irony and magnificent collaborations — the Castiglioni brothers' Saliscendi for the Milan Chamber of Commerce in 1957, Joe Colombo's Topo with its sports-car air vents, the Aroldi brothers' Periscopio, Gae Aulenti's Minibox and Colonna, Ettore Sottsass' Valigia. Pieces from the archive now sit in the world's most important museums, MoMA New York among them, and the collection has been honoured with the Red Dot, the iF Design Award, a Compasso d'Oro honourable mention and the ADI Design Index.
In 2019 Stilnovo joined Linea Light Group, an Italian leader in LED technology based in the Veneto. The result is a collection built exclusively on LED: historic designs re-engineered with dimmable sources that preserve the brilliance of the original form, alongside contemporary work by Richard Sapper, Mirco Crosatto, Shigeaki Asahara and Pio and Tito Toso. Craftsmanship and industrialisation, Italian savoir-faire and timeless collections that find their way into the most prestigious projects. As Stilnovo's Singapore partner, W. Atelier presents the collection at our Henderson Road showroom.
Four pillars of Stilnovo.
A Museum-Grade Archive
From the 1940s to the 1980s Stilnovo defined an era of Italian lighting. Iconic pieces are exhibited at MoMA New York and in major design shows, and the collection carries Red Dot, iF and Compasso d'Oro recognition.
The Masters' Signatures
Achille and Pier Giacomo Castiglioni, Richard Sapper, Gae Aulenti, Joe Colombo, Ettore Sottsass — visionaries who transformed each lamp into a timeless work of form and light.
Icons, Re-Engineered in LED
Part of Linea Light Group since 2019, every Stilnovo lamp runs on LED — historic designs reworked with dimmable sources that keep the original silhouette intact, with previously unthinkable solutions now possible.

Four ways to live with Stilnovo.
Suspension, table, floor and wall — every typology, every era.
Suspension
The Castiglioni brothers' Saliscendi slides its luminous body and reflective disc along the cables to shift between direct and indirect light. Around it: the sculptural Galassia and Sputnik, the Campana and Megafono from the archive, Joe Colombo's Triedro and contemporary compositions by Crosatto and Toso.

Table
Richard Sapper's Halley walks across the desk like a comet — six joints, each rotating 360 degrees, moved with one hand. Beside it, Joe Colombo's Topo with its sports-car vents, the Aroldi Periscopio, Asahara's Torino, Gae Aulenti's Minibox and Sottsass' Valigia.
Explore Table →
Floor
Articulated arms, adjustable heads, retro charm. Topo extends and retracts on its metal arms; Periscopio pivots its cylinder to throw light exactly where it is needed; Triedro folds its faceted shade into a sculpture. Galassia and Diphy bring the contemporary line.

Wall & Ceiling
Light that lives on the architecture. Galassia's orbiting discs, Gae Aulenti's Gomito and Minibox, the Nizzoli Goletta, Lampiatta by De Pas, D'Urbino and Lomazzi, and modular contemporary systems such as Kimia, Cono and Fronda for larger residential and hospitality projects.

A Stilnovo lamp is something you understand in the hand — the slide of a Saliscendi, the one-finger reach of a Halley, the click of a Topo shade.
