In fact, the brand is owned by a lighting manufacturing company, founded by six guzzini brothers – raimondo, giovanni, virgilio, giuseppe, adolfo and giannunzio – who were inspired by the 1950 film harvey starring james stewart. To complicate the story even further, it seems that the guzzini company changed its name several times during the twentieth century, becoming in turn harvey creazioni, harvey guzzini, guzzini, iguzzini and illuminazione guzzini. Harvey creazioni was founded in 1959 in recanti (on the central east coast of italy) by raimondo, focusing on the production of copper-plated decorative objects. Four years later, in june 1963, the six brothers teamed up and founded harvey creazioni di guzzini, expanding production to include pendant lamps, wall lamps, lamps and floor lamps. The brothers employed architect-designer luigi massoni – who was introduced to them by the large plastic importer maurizio adreani – as head of design, branding, public relations and advertising. Famous harvey guzzini models include the mushroom desk lamp by massoni and luciano buttura (1965), as well as the arc floor lamp (1968), the faro desk lamp (1970) and the toledo desk lamp (1973), designed in-house. Designers ermanno lampa and sergio brazzoli are responsible for the nastro series (1970), the orione suspension lamp (1970), the sirio desk lamp (19.
