Venice Design Week

VDW SELECTION

Happy to share that Dondolina by Pio&TitoToso for Zafferano has just won the iF Design Award 2026, one of the most prestigious design recognitions in the world, with over 11,000 entries from 70 countries.

We awarded it Best Design Lamp at the Venetian Smart Lighting Award and exhibited it at VDW 2025. It's always good to see design we believe in get the recognition it deserves.

A rechargeable cordless lamp with a semi-spherical base that rocks and returns upright on its own, like a roly-poly toy. Simple, clever, instantly recognizable.
