Oluce Italian Design Lighting For Interiors And Outdoor Since 1945

Website: Oluce

In 1945, just as the war ended, Giuseppe Ostuni founded a company in Milan with a single mission: to transform light into design. From that moment, Oluce has never stopped, and is today the oldest Italian design company still active in the field of lighting. Eighty years of history, a collection inhabited by products that have outlasted trends to become absolute icons of Italian design. From the masters of the 1950s — Tito Agnoli, Marco Zanuso, Joe Colombo, Vico Magistretti — to today's contemporary designers, every Oluce lamp is a milestone in a journey of aesthetic and technological research into light that has no equal in the Italian landscape.

1945–Today: a Collection that Is Also a History of Design

Oluce does not have a collection: it has a living archive. Many of these pieces are still in production decades after their launch, because their formal quality has been able to transcend the historical moment in which they were created: not how current they are when they come out, but how necessary they remain years later. Oluce has been building this collection since 1945 without interruption, through collaborations with the greatest designers Italian design has produced.
Alongside its historic production, Oluce looks forward — every year the catalogue is enriched with new pieces signed by contemporary designers, maintaining the dialogue between heritage and experimentation that is the DNA of the brand. The 2025 collection celebrates the theme of bespoke lighting, a concept Oluce interprets on both an aesthetic and a technical and installation level.

The Iconic Lamps: Joe Colombo and Vico Magistretti

Two names above all others have written the luminous history of Oluce, and their lamps still speak every day in thousands of homes around the world:

  • Atollo (Vico Magistretti, 1977): the most celebrated piece in the entire history of Oluce, winner of the Compasso d'Oro and the archetype of the modern table lamp. Three pure geometric elements — cylinder, hemisphere, and disc — combined in a formal equilibrium so resolute that it has never needed updating.
  • Spider (Joe Colombo, 1965): a table and floor lamp — a stem with an adjustable metal diffuser, one of the most technically advanced pieces of its time. Colombo designed the Spider at just 34 years old: a forward-looking and functional project, a manifesto of an aesthetic projected into the future.
  • Coupé (Joe Colombo, 1967): a table and floor lamp similar to the Spider but with a softer profile — the bell-shaped shade wraps and diffuses light with precision. Together with the Spider, the Coupé completes Colombo's enduring legacy: two design objects of rare perfection.

Joe Colombo died in 1971, at just 41 years of age, leaving behind a design legacy of extraordinary density. Vico Magistretti, by contrast, accompanied Oluce for decades — the pendant lamp Sonora and other creations complete a creative heritage that the brand preserves with the care of an author's archive.

Oluce Collections: from Table Lamp to Outdoor

The Oluce catalogue covers every environment, from everyday domestic use to major architectural lighting projects. The lamps across the collections meet every design requirement — born to create myths, among them:
Superluna: a floor and table lamp designed by Victor Vasilev; the project received the prestigious German Design Award.
The Globe: defined by an aesthetic based on pure geometries, where a transparent blown-glass sphere encloses a cylindrical metal reflector.
Berlin: a floor lamp distinguished by a substantial-gauge metal ring and a slender profile enclosing a sandblasted reticular glass disc — for high-end living environments.
Stones: the outdoor lamp system inspired by the natural shape of pebbles, for exterior lighting of terraces and high-quality gardens.
Oluce signs lighting at 360°: a versatile collection of wall lights, pendants, and LED systems designed to dress domestic spaces and large contract projects with consistency.
