More about...

  • The piece

    The Atollo lamp, designed by Vico Magistretti in 1977 for Oluce, is one of the most iconic pieces in lighting design. Its geometric composition —a cylinder, a cone, and a hemisphere— creates a perfectly balanced and sculptural silhouette. Beyond its function, Atollo stands as a symbol of modern elegance, offering a warm, atmospheric light that enhances any interior.

  • The designer

    Rational elegance and mass production. Magistretti was one of the fathers of Italian "Bel Design." His genius lay in creating objects that seemed to have always existed, simple yet technically perfect (like the Atollo lamp or Carimate chair). He worked closely with manufacturers, understanding that design is born from the machine's capability. He is remembered for his masterful use of plastic and pure geometry. His furniture pieces are safe investments: sober, comfortable, and culturally significant, representing Milan's golden age.
  • The brand

    Oluce, founded in 1945, is the oldest active design lighting company in Italy. Its history is marked by the collaboration with master Vico Magistretti, creator of the unmistakable Atollo lamp, a masterpiece of pure geometric shapes that won the Compasso d'Oro. Oluce is defined by a rationalist, sculptural aesthetic free of unnecessary ornamentation. Their lamps are intellectual icons of design. Buying Oluce means acquiring timeless sophistication; they are pieces that decorate through geometry and light, perfect for elegant and minimalist environments.
