Shigeaki Asahara (b. 1948, Kunitachi, Japan), began his artistic journey studying painting under Nakamoto Tatsuya before moving to Turin, Italy, to study at the Accademia Albertina di Belle Arti. Drawn to product design, he pursued a career that balanced functionality with artistic expression. After working with Adam & Eve in Japan and the Italian firm ABACO, Asahara became a freelance designer in the 1980s, specializing in lighting. His iconic Tokio lamp for Stilnovo was shortlisted for the Compasso d’Oro in 1980 and won multiple international awards. He designed for top brands in Japan and Italy, including Lucitalia, Stilnovo, Yamada, and Daiko, and received the Good Design Award twice.

Asahara’s work is featured in major museum collections in New York and Tokyo, and his designs, such as the Palomar and Ziggurat lamps, were reissued in 2019. Recognised for blending Japanese craftsmanship with Italian modernism, Asahara remains a celebrated figure in product and lighting design.

About the Maker

Stilnovo

Italian lighting manufacturer Stilnovo was founded by designer Bruno Gatta in 1946 in Lainate, an industrial suburb of Milan. In response to the aftermath World War II—at a time when Italy was focused on rebuilding under conditions of scarcity—Gatta dedicated Stilnovo to the production of innovative lighting elements that embody rationalist, form-follows-function principles.

In the postwar era, designer Gaetano Sciolari took on the role of in-house designer. As economic recovery swept through Italy, Stilnovo became known as a prestigious and cutting-edge brand for both public and private spaces.

In the mid-1960s, Bruno’s son, Dino Gatta, had the idea to invite some of the best designers of the day to develop new products, and Stilnovo became a hotbed of progressive design ideas and a laboratory for material experimentation. Standouts from this futuristic era include the Periscopio Floor Lamp (1967) by Danilo & Corrado Aroldi, the Treiedo Spotlight (1970) and the Topo Adjustable Wall Lamp (1970) by Joe Colombo, the Lucetta Table Lamp (1970) by Cini Boeri, the Fante Desk Lamp (1978) by De Pas, D’Urbino, Lomazzi, and the Valigia Desk Lamp (1977) by Ettore Sottsass. Many Stillnovo pieces were exhibited in MoMA’s landmark Italy: The New Domestic Landscape exhibition in 1972.

Massimo Anselmi, an art director from the worlds of fashion design and contemporary art, acquired Stilnovo in 2012 and launched re-editions of iconic Stilnovo designs at Salone the following year.
