Fifty years of experience in working with light
We have almost 50 years of experience in working with light.In 1958 we were a small manufacturer of lamps and chandeliers known as Harvey Creazioni. Today, we lead the technical lighting sector in Italy and rank among the first five European companies in this field.
Our total commitment to lighting includes systems for urban furniture, services, museums, commercial spaces and reception facilities. These are the main facts of our history.
The sons of Mariano Guzzini, Raimondo, Giovanni, Virgilio, Giuseppe and Giannunzio found Harvey Creazioni on the 30th June, for the production of artistic objects in enamelled copper. The name is a reference to Harvey, the invisible giant rabbit, the imaginary friend of James Stewart in the film of the same name released in 1950.
At the beginning the young Guzzinis work only in the evenings after their shifts at Fratelli Guzzini.
Harvey is the nucleus of the future iGuzzini Illuminazione. Indeed, soon after the foundation of the company, the production of copper objects is supplemented by the manufacture of lighting equipment in plastic.
1963: 1st June: foundation of Harvey Creazioni Snc di Guzzini R. & C. Partners: Raimondo, Virgilio, Giuseppe, Giannunzio and Adolfo. Adolfo is the president, Giannunzio the managing director.
1964: Giancarlo Capici designs the first catalogue featuring a range of lamps in a unique style. The production of copper objects had by now been abandoned and the company had invested in machine tools for manufacturing metal parts for lighting equipment.
Luigi Massoni was given the task of developing the company image of Harvey, and coordinating the image of the products, displays and packaging.
