The materials suitable for the outdoors, in fact, must be carefully considered for their technical performance but also to give the desired style and the ideal atmosphere.
Metal outdoor lamps
Metal is a versatile, ductile material that is easily shaped. Resistant to bad weather and extreme temperatures, it is necessary to distinguish between aluminium, copper and brass.
Aluminum lamps
Aluminum is super durable and will not deteriorate over time. Adverse weather conditions, extreme temperatures and humidity do not affect its durability and for this reason it is very suitable for outdoor lighting. Easy to maintain, however, it has one flaw: it must be cleaned constantly to leave the oxide layer intact and therefore avoid corrosion.
The style indicated is modern and minimal, the perfect one is industrial.
Copper lamps
Usually light fixtures of this kind are made of brass and then covered in copper to maximize the best characteristics of both these metals, solidity and beauty. Although it is true that copper lamps are durable over time, it is also true that this metal will tend to darken. But this is also the beauty of copper!
Classic and elegant style.
Brass lamps
A solid and long-lasting metal, brass does not corrode over time and gives technical qualities to installations. But there's one thing to know: brass lasts over time but can become darker and more patina-like.
Versatile and sophisticated style.
Outdoor glass lamps
Glass is the ductile material par excellence and also adapts very well to outdoor spaces given its ability to resist bad weather and extreme heat and cold. It cleans easily and lasts over time. Glass can be shaped into lamps of many styles but what characterizes its performance regardless of the shape is a soft, welcoming lighting with clean elegance.
Style? Any!
Concrete outdoor lamps

Perfect for outdoor lamps, each piece made with this material will be unique. The style that concrete will give to your outdoor space is decidedly expressive and original, your concrete lamps will not simply be decorative but truly evocative installations.
