Octavio Amado is an Argentinian-born designer based in Paris, where he founded his namesake studio in 2002. A graduate of the Beaux-Arts, he moved to Paris in 1996 and quickly gravitated toward lighting design—a discipline that merged his artistic vision with his deep respect for materials. The Octavio Amado studio operates at the intersection of craftsmanship and innovation—a hybrid of a traditional workshop and a research lab. Here, noble materials such as alabaster, rock crystal, and Limoges porcelain meet cutting-edge technologies like 3D printing to produce luminous sculptures that are at once functional objects and poetic installations. Each creation balances three guiding concepts: a work of art, a spatial jewel, and an elegant light source. Whether developing singular pieces or large-scale commissions in collaboration with architects, Amado’s work carries a distinctive identity marked by precision, luxury, and expressive form. All works are hand-assembled in Greater Paris in limited series or as unique, numbered pieces. His lighting sculptures can be found in museums, embassies, universities, public buildings, and private spaces around the world—testaments to the studio’s global reach and its commitment to made-in-Paris excellence.
