The piece
The Fresnel lamp, designed by Joe Colombo in 1966, is a compact and timeless piece known for its refined simplicity. Its name comes from the Fresnel lens, which diffuses light with exceptional softness and clarity. Designed for both indoor and outdoor use, it embodies Colombo’s talent for combining technical precision with essential, functional beauty.

The designer
Joe Colombo was a visionary who, more than designing furniture, designed the future. In the effervescence of the 60s, he understood that the world was shifting towards a more nomadic, dynamic, and technified lifestyle. His historical relevance lies in a total break from traditional static furniture; for Colombo, the home had to be a flexible "machine for living." He must be remembered for his mastery of new materials, especially injection-molded ABS plastic, which allowed him to create fluid, futuristic forms impossible with wood. But his greatest contribution was extreme modularity and the "living unit": rolling block kitchens or beds with integrated control stations. Colombo anticipated contemporary micro-housing and the need to optimize space, turning design into functional equipment. His legacy is the idea that the environment must adapt to the user, not the other way around.

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.
