OLUCE Colombo Wall Lamp - The visionary and futuristic designer Joe Colombo designed the Colombo lamp in 1970, on the wave of the rapid diffusion of the halogen light. The design is in fact one of the first domestic lamps to use the new type of bulb. The design of the Colombo lamp – base, chrome stem and adjustable reflector – responds to the demands for clean shapes and technological functionality that go hand in hand with the concept and design of this great designer.

OLUCE Berlin Wall/Ceiling Lamp - Available in the ø30, ø40 wall light and ø50 version for use either as a ceiling light or wall light, Berlin takes the form of a thick metal ring with a slender profile enclosing a disc of wire mesh glass inside it. The satin brass finish recall echoes of Art Deco, given a contemporary update in the shapes, and in the use of LED as the light source.

OLUCE Astro Wall Lamp - The Astro has three transparent and sanded surfaces and the rest are opaque, making it look like a little jewel whose geometrics are underlined by the materials that form it: the metal part, which comes in white or black, and the transparent and sanded glass create a “prism” effect on the light.

OLUCE Zanuso Table Lamp - In 1963, Marco Zanuso designed the model 275 table lamp for Oluce with its large adjustable rotary Perspex diffuser, fastened to a lacquered metal base. Subsequently renamed Zanuso, the 275 lamp was originally conceived for use as a desk lamp. However, its purpose was not intended as an operational lamp, but rather to illuminate a table in an environment that is not necessarily an office. In fact, its iconic shape finds use not only on desks, but generally on any bearing plane, its primary role being to light a portion of a room.

OLUCE The Globe Table Lamp - The Globe is a lamp which was designed by Joe Colombo in 1964, created in table, suspension and wall lamp versions, available in two sizes. Its pure geometries co-exist in a constant balance between shape and functionality: the transparent blown-glass sphere contains the cylindrical metal reflector that projects its timeless light into space.

OLUCE Switch Table Lamp - By means of the Switch lamp, the Japanese designer Nendo, revisits the shape of the classic abat-jour by renewing both its materials and its function. The archetypal shape of the cylindrical lampshade is transformed by using metal while its function as a diffuser is combined with that of a ‘switch’, hence its name. In fact, the lamp is switched on and off by turning the sheet metal lampshade, inextricably blending shape and function, aesthetics and functionality.

OLUCE Spider Table Lamp - Table or floor lamp with stove-enamelled sheet metal reflector purposely designed to take a special horizontal spot light bulb. A plastic joint allows the reflector to tilt. In 1967 Spider won the Compasso d’Oro award. It is part of the permanent collections of the Milan Triennale, the Philadelphia Museum of Art, the Kunstmuseum of Düsseldorf and the “Neue Sammlung Museum” in Munich. In 1972 it went on show at the “Italy: The New Domestic Landscape” exhibition in New York.

OLUCE Siro Table Lamp - Marta Perla has designed Siro, a semi-spherical table lamp with a disc at the front releasing in its interior an oblique light thanks to the slim LED light source. Seen from the front, Siro appears to consist of two two dimensional elements, giving the illusion of being perfectly balanced on a surface. It takes its name from the necessity, so typical of man, to search in celestial movements, possible links between one’s own past and cosmic phenomena. Hence Siro, deriving from Sirius, the brightest white star in the night sky.

OLUCE Semplice Table Lamp - Sam Hecht designs Semplice for Oluce, a table lamp consisting of a single blown glass bell, acting as both the diffuser and the base for the design. The lower end, in fact, rests directly on the floor, while the upper part of the bell is covered internally by a metal cap which encases the luminous bulb. The extreme constructive synthesis of the structural elements of this product is accompanied by painstaking attention to details and finishes: the sophisticated galvanic processing of the head, the rotary dimmer positioned at the top of the lamp and the metal braid wires. Thanks to this pairing, the ‘simplicity’ of the forms, from which the design adopts its name, is therefore enriched with sophisticated finishes and details, resulting in a product that is decorative and lightweight at the same time. Presented at Euroluce 2013, Semplice won that year’s prestigious “Best British Design Award”.

OLUCE Recuerdo Table Lamp - Recuerdo, design by Mariana Pellegrino Soto, is part of a round solid in transparent glass, with an elegant crystal matelassé or quilted effect, inside which the LED light source is protected by a frosted glass cylinder, creating plays of light and reflections inside the space.

OLUCE Plume Table Lamp - Plume blends a minimal, slender and lightweight design, with a series of expressions that recall the classic lighting styles of the 1950s with the use of metal, configured as a collection with a precious, classic character, yet at the same time, contemporary.

OLUCE Eva Table Lamp - The body of the object is a ball containing the LED light source; it is open on one side and stands on a slim cylindrical base. The inside of the ball is concealed by a surface that almost perfectly completes it, closing it like a sphere that recomposes itself, with the exception of a circle, a luminous light spiral that recalls the phenomenon of an eclipse. As this circular surface moves towards the interior or exterior of the ball, it allows different amounts of light to pass through, creating intimate, suffuse atmospheres, and revealing glimpses of the fine gold leaf walls inside the Eva lamp with varying degrees of clarity.

OLUCE Duca Table Lamp - The Duca Table Lamp was designed by Nicola Gallizia in 2015, and is made in Italy. Originally designed for the ME Milan Il Duca hotel, a luxury hotel located in Milan, the Duca Table Lamp is unique, modern, and practical. Showcasing a pleasing, balanced form, this modern table lamp features a circular base and top that mirror each other. When illuminated, light is cast from the LED light source straight down providing accent light that is perfect on a side table, bedside table or console table.

OLUCE Cylinda Table Lamp - Angeletti & Ruzza designed Cylinda, a table lamp formed from two cylinders of different dimensions and thicknesses. The first, which is slimmer and taller, becomes the base supporting the second unit, a large, slender disc that forms the light-shade, with an LED light source shining beneath it. In the words of the designers, the essential forms of this design aim: “To eliminate, not to add anything that is not absolutely necessary: this was the mantra guiding the design of the lamp; with its quiet presence, it succeeds in creating a positive atmosphere that can transform everyday routine into everyday poetics.” Cylinda captures the attention with its strong, poetic presence, maintaining a minimalist sophistication with its clean outlines and use of geometric shapes, fully reflecting the Oluce DNA. In the monochrome anthracite version, Cylinda confirms its refined quality, highlighting the elegance of the lines, while in the two-colour version, a brushed gold disc is supported on the anthracite base, a decorative touch that succeeds in discreetly embellishing the object.

OLUCE Alba Table Lamp - The concept of Alba starts with a very simple element: the designer’s imagination was inspired by a drop of water – which she puts to use in different ways, depending on the model. References to the world of nature, with soft shapes contrasted with square lines, together with the use of a satin brass finish, combine to create Alba, a family with a strong visual impact. In the table lamp version, the drop rests delicately on a satin brass rectangular-section profile in the shape of a double asymmetrical ‘L’ , serving as the base and ornamentation of the light. Suspension Alba on the other hand consists of two models: the single one, gracefully suspended by a cable, and the double one, where the cable supports a metal structure with a satin brass finish, with two offset arms, under which light shines from the opaline drops. In the wall model, the solid is lightly attached to a square-section tubular support that fixes it to the ceiling rose. Two floor-standing versions complete the project: in both versions, a large rectangular-section stem with a satin brass finish arises from an anthracite base. In the first version, an arm branches off from the top, with a sphere suspended underneath it, while in the second, two arms of different heights, on each side, support the luminous drops, one from above and the other from below.

OLUCE Acrilica Table Lamp - Joe Colombo‘s first project for Oluce, the only one worked on together with his brother Gianni. From then on, the two Colombo brothers clearly separated their fields: Joe left art in which he had shown interesting promise with “Nucleari”, while Gianni no longer worked in design, becoming one of the leading exponents of the kinetic, programmed movement. The 281 model, created in 1962, was immediately nicknamed “Acrilica” due to its surprising conspicuousness and exception innovation of the significant curve made from acrylic. Methacrylate, used for about a decade in the field of lighting, usually in thin sheets that are cut or thermoformed, found a very particular use here: its thickness and curve meant that, thanks to its conduction properties, the light from a fluorescent lamp contained within the painted steel base moved through the transparent body, eventually lighting the head in an incredible way. Due to this “magical movement”, “281” is more a work of kinetic art than a lamp.

OLUCE Recuerdo Pendant - Recuerdo, design by Mariana Pellegrino Soto, is part of a round solid in transparent glass, with an elegant crystal matelassé or quilted effect, inside which the LED light source is protected by a frosted glass cylinder, creating plays of light and reflections inside the space.

OLUCE Niwa Pendant - A suspended lamp both indoor and outdoor purpose use. With its Classic and elegant design suspending from the ceiling the light bulb is protected by a glass and fixed to a metal cone. With a wide spread use of application for this lamp the options are limitless.

OLUCE Kin Pendant - A cast aluminium body with a LED core are the characteristic structural elements of which Kin is made, masterfully combined in Francesco Rota’s design of this suspension lamp of an explicit yet refined beauty. The flared shape of the body, with its slim thicknesses, is closed with a methacrylate disc from which its LED light is diffused.

OLUCE Ilo Vertical Pendant - In this rise and fall version, the bar re-proportioned and set vertically – moves lightly on a steel wire, fixed to the ceiling and held in suspension by a floor-skimming weight, creating reflections and light play.

OLUCE Colombo Ceiling Lamp - The visionary and futuristic designer Joe Colombo designed the Colombo lamp in 1970, on the wave of the rapid diffusion of the halogen light. The design is in fact one of the first domestic lamps to use the new type of bulb. The design of the Colombo lamp – base, chrome stem and adjustable reflector – responds to the demands for clean shapes and technological functionality that go hand in hand with the concept and design of this great designer.
