Italian designer Sabrina Landini is best known for her seductive handmade decorative objects and lighting. Supported by a small team of assistants in Tuscany, Landini creates bright and optimistic modernist pieces that reflect strong femininity. Her eponymous brand's elegant Tiffany series of lighting fixtures — a celebrated line that includes table lamps, floor lamps and more — is inspired by Audrey Hepburn’s iconic character in 1961’s Breakfast at Tiffany’s.
Landini grew up in Montelupo, Italy, not far from Florence. As a child, she enjoyed watching her father work as a glassmaker. She became fascinated by the way he transformed silicon powder into bright objects of crystal and glass.
As an adult, Landini moved to Milan, Italy, and opened a modest studio in the Navigli area. Landini created her first home furnishing at this workshop in Navigli — a light fixture that would be the inaugural piece in her Tiffany line. Topped with handcrafted hourglass-shaped lampshades made of organza silk or fine fabrics such as satin — and gathered at the center by a signature belt of silvered glass — the aged brass-stemmed Tiffany lamps are Landini’s trademark design, the one she is most proud of. While the Tiffany series draws on the Hepburn film, her Butterfly hanging fixtures and Sunshine floor lamps feature natural-world motifs and are inclusive of colored glass panes, handmade Japanese paper and Art Deco–inspired hardware.
Later, Landini moved to Pietrasanta, Tuscany, and opened an atelier. As a designer, she wanted to imbue her modern pieces with the rich heritage of Tuscan art. Today Landini and her team work with a range of rich materials — crystals, silks, precious stones and more — to create one-of-a-kind functional designs for storage cabinets, tables, mirrors and other furniture and decor.
