iGuzzini lighting was founded in June 1958 by Raimondo Guzzini (born 1928) under the name Harvey, inspired by the renowned movie 'Harvey' featuring James Stewart and the invisible rabbit Harvey from 1950. Initially producing enameled copper items, the company later expanded into decorative lighting fixtures. By the early sixties, it had evolved into a family enterprise with Raimondo's five brothers joining. In 1962, Luigi Massoni was recruited to lead the design team, contributing significantly until 1976 with many iconic lamp designs. The company, still operational, rebranded in 1974 as iGuzzini and in 1981 as iGuzzini illuminazione.
