Davide Groppi Sampei 440 Floor Lamp Designed by Enzo Calabrese

The Sampei 440 Floor Lamp is a sculptural lighting piece designed by Enzo Calabrese for Davide Groppi, distinguished by its slender form and poetic inspiration. Available in Opaque Black or Opaque White finishes, this award-winning floor lamp stands out for its expressive silhouette and technical sophistication.

The Sampei 440 Floor Lamp draws inspiration from the natural grace of a willow branch or the movement of fishing rods swaying in the breeze. Made from a combination of resilient metal and flexible fiberglass, the lamp features a remarkably thin stem with an adjustable reflector, allowing for customized luminous direction. With its ability to incline at 0°, 10°, or 20°, the stem responds gently to positioning, creating visual effects that shift with every adjustment.

A recipient of the Compasso d’Oro in 2014, the Sampei 440 Floor Lamp embodies a modern classic in lighting design. Its integrated LED source (18 W, 3000K, 1430 lm) delivers a pure, focused beam with a dimmer for adaptable ambiance, making it ideal for sculpting mood in living rooms, lounges, and sophisticated hospitality spaces.

The delicate verticality and minimal aesthetic of Sampei evoke an ethereal atmosphere, as if tracing ephemeral bamboo reeds or willow twigs through space. Designed for high-ceiling interiors or dramatic corners, it introduces an element of surprise and levity—its light "line" is both an architectural gesture and a play of visual poetry. The lamp integrates seamlessly into contemporary settings, adding a refined accent that highlights the surrounding environment with intention and subtle artistry.
