This is not just a story about light and about a company that breathes it, it is the story of how a friendship can build a common dream.
Once upon a time, back in 2007, there were an important company from Bologna, specialized in lighting, and two of its most valuable collaborators. The synergy between Davide, lighting designer with years of training behind him, and plurennial designer with heterogeneous experience in lighting for environments Leonardo, was immediate.
When Leonardo thinks how to illuminate a room in a new and original way, Davide creates the right object. When Davide design a new lamp, Leonardo always manages to make the most of his potential in the right project.
And so it was. As a living thing, from the sharing of objectives and from the desire to take “beyond” the possibilities of developing, experimenting, inventing, DaBù arises: from the initials of the surnames of two friends, who found a common dream and were not afraid to pursue it.
