Founded in 1945, Oluce is the oldest Italian design company in the illumination sector still in operation today. The design qualities of the lamps make them icons that communicate across the generations to become an integral part of the homes they furnish.
Alongside the catalogue products is the Oluce experience in lighting technology and Made in Italy attentiveness, which in turn have given life to the Bespoke Tailoring, the special department dedicated to contract design.
OLUCE Fresnel Wall - Ceiling Chrome - The Fresnel 10 cm-diameter lens becomes the absolute protagonist of this project, different versions of which have been designed over time: wall/ceiling lamps for both indoor and outdoor use. Its metal body discreetly complete the structure, prioritising, yet again, the practical supporting function above any other ornament and decoration.
OLUCE Fresnel Outdoor Wall - Ceiling - The Fresnel 10 cm-diameter lens becomes the absolute protagonist of this project, different versions of which have been designed over time: wall/ceiling lamps for both indoor and outdoor use. Its metal body discreetly complete the structure, prioritising, yet again, the practical supporting function above any other ornament and decoration.
OLUCE Fiore Pendant - The Fiore pendant lamp is characterized by a deliberate hark back to the 1970s. The lamp becomes a flower, with its petals radiating around it. Perhaps it is a daisy, barely outlines in the abstract sharpness of the metal and glass, but poetically evoked by the shadow that is projected on the wall or ceiling.
OLUCE Fiore Wall - In designing this family of lamps, Marta Laudani and Marco Romanelli recover natural elements and 1970-style recollections making them the focal point of the project: the lamp becomes the archetype of a flower, with a central core and radiating petals. The single element, a transparent blown glass cylinder that contains the source of light, is joined to a metal body to form several combinations, creating, in fact, a stylised flower. In the wall/ceiling version, Fiore is available with 7 luminaires, 3 luminaires – in the linear and triangular variations – and with only one luminaire, creating geometric or decorative motifs on the domestic surfaces. Instead, in the suspension version of the lamp, Fiore twirls free, with a combination of either 13 or 7 luminaires – according to the variation chosen.
OLUCE Coupe Floor Lamp - The Coupé Floor lamp is made of metal lacquered base and structure, chromium-plated stem and adjustable reflector in lacquered aluminium. The simple, ingenious mechanism that connects the stem to the head makes it possible to direct the beam in several directions, by moving the dome up, down and sideways. In 1968, Coupé won the ”International Design Award” of the American Institute of Interior Designers in Chicago. It is part of the permanent collection at both the MoMA in New York and the ”Neue Sammlung” Museum in Munich.
OLUCE Coupe Table Lamp - The Coupé series, designed by Joe Colombo, was initially conceived as a variation of the Spider family, created by the same designer, of which it has kept its base and stem. The simple, ingenious mechanism that connects the stem to the head makes it possible to direct the beam in several directions, by moving the dome up, down and sideways.
