HOOPZI sur B SMART TV

On January 3, 2022, the Smart Impact program broadcast on B SMART welcomed visionary leaders of French innovation, including Didier Finn, founder of Hoopzi. In this program devoted to high-impact projects, he presented the vision and ambitions of a brand that is reinventing designer lighting.

Hoopzi is renowned in particular for its singularly designed lampshades, crafted from recycled oyster shells, a natural material transformed into eco-responsible bioplastic. Each piece in this unique collection stands out for its textures and nuances, while offering functional elegance for contemporary interiors.

One of the flagships of this innovation is the COPPAlampshade, a French creation that combines ecology, sophistication and creativity : thanks to the integration of oyster shells in its bioplastic, each luminaire becomes a unique work of art, diffusing a warm light and establishing itself as a decorative object in its own right.

In Smart Impact, Didier Finn explained how Hoopzi places sustainability at the heart of its creative approach, transforming natural materials into original design pieces, without compromising on aesthetics. He also spoke of the importance of entrepreneurship inspired by strong values and a long-term vision to reinvent lighting standards.
