DESIGN CONTEXT

Designed by Alberto Meda and Paolo Rizzatto for Luceplan, this pair of Luceplan Metropoli D20/27 flush mounts represents one of the most accomplished examples of Italian architectural lighting from the early 1990s. Combining technical innovation with understated aesthetics, the Metropoli collection has become a benchmark of contemporary industrial design.

Each fixture features a satin die-cast aluminium body paired with a thick prismatic pressed glass diffuser that provides soft, evenly distributed illumination. Designed for installation on either the wall or ceiling, the lights incorporate Luceplan’s distinctive hinged opening system, inspired by the construction of a watch case, allowing quick maintenance and effortless bulb replacement.

Awarded the prestigious Compasso d’Oro ADI in 1994, the Metropoli collection perfectly reflects Luceplan’s philosophy of combining engineering excellence with timeless design. Offered as a matching pair, these fixtures are ideal for flanking a hallway, illuminating a living space or creating a balanced architectural composition in residential or commercial interiors.
