Italy’s oldest lighting design company still in operation. Oluce makes the lamps Joe Colombo, Vico Magistretti and Marco Zanuso drew, and keeps them in production alongside new work. Every page here lists each finish, with real sizes, bulbs and wattage.
Oluce was founded in 1945 and is the oldest Italian lighting design company still in operation. The company works with architects and designers, among them Joe Colombo, Vico Magistretti, Marco Zanuso, Tito Agnoli, Victor Vasilev and Christophe Pillet, and keeps classic models in production beside new ones. Oluce also runs a bespoke department for contract design.
Two Oluce designs have won the Compasso d’Oro ADI: Spider 291 by Joe Colombo (1967) and Atollo 233 by Vico Magistretti (1979). Several Oluce lamps have been shown at or collected by museums, including MoMA in New York.
Oluce was founded in 1945 and describes itself as the oldest Italian design company in the lighting sector still in operation. Giuseppe Ostuni is credited as the founder.
Are Oluce lamps made in Italy?
Yes. Oluce designs and makes its lamps in Italy, and the product pages say so.
Which Oluce lamp is the most famous?
Atollo, designed by Vico Magistretti in 1977, won the Compasso d’Oro ADI in 1979. Spider 291 by Joe Colombo won the same prize in 1967. Both are still in the collection.
How long does Oluce shipping take, and what is in stock?
Lamps that are in stock ship in 2 to 4 business days. Many Oluce lamps are arriving from Italy in the coming weeks, and each finish that is not in stock yet shows the date it becomes available on its page.
Do Oluce lamps work in the United States?
Product pages list the bulb base and wattage for each lamp. Many use E26 bulbs, and LED models list their own power and driver details, so check the Product Details table on the lamp you choose.
Can I use an Oluce lamp outdoors?
Some can. Lyndon, Berlin-Out, Fresnel, Otto and Stones are Oluce’s outdoor designs. Each outdoor page lists its protection rating, so choose those rather than an indoor lamp.
