Tratto – Cast Iron Outdoor Lanterns and Floor Lamps
There are garden lights that look as if they have always been there. The Tratto collection from Unopiù is designed precisely like this: cast iron lanterns, powder-coated in graphite grey, with a Pietra Serena base – the Tuscan natural stone that has been used in Florentine architecture for centuries.
Tratto offers classic garden lighting with high-quality materials, IP55 certification, and LED technology.
Design and Styling
Tratto reinterprets the classic lantern for the garden context: the hexagonal cast iron lantern housing, the Pietra Serena base with its warm grey tone, the graphite grey powder coating – all elements are perfectly coordinated. The result is a luminaire that works equally well in historical gardens and modern landscape designs.

Use in the Garden and on the Terrace
Tratto is particularly suitable for garden and park areas, driveways, path lighting, and terrace edges. The three height variations (70, 90, and 140 cm) allow for the creation of light islands at different levels. The Pietra Serena base gives the luminaires an elegant ground presence; the wall lamp complements the ensemble when mounted on a house.
Tratto in the Context of the Unopiù Brand
Tratto forms the classic counterpart to the modern Aton Collection. While Aton emphasizes aluminum and geometric precision, Tratto focuses on cast iron and lantern tradition. For gardens with a historical or Mediterranean character, Tratto is the logical choice. All lighting collections and the complete range can be found on the Unopiù Brand Page.
