Lyndon 161 is a mini candelabra-style outdoor wall lamp with a single transparent polycarbonate globe, originally designed in 1977 by Vico Magistretti for Oluce and reissued in 2025.
It comes in 2 finishes: Black and Ivory.
The Design Story
Oluce, founded in Milan in 1945, reissued Lyndon in 2025 as a small-scale outdoor collection of floor, wall and table lamps, true to Magistretti’s original 1977 vision. The signature candelabra-style structure stays the same: a minimalist metal stem supports four transparent polycarbonate globes, unified into a single globe in the table and wall versions.
The Designers
Vico Magistretti (1920 to 2006) was born and died in Milan. He earned his architecture degree in 1945 and joined his father’s firm. During the war he met Gio Ponti and Ernesto N. Rogers, and after the war he worked on reconstruction projects. His architecture includes the Torre al Parco and the Faculty of Biology in Milan, and he also designed furniture and lamps for companies such as Cassina, Artemide, De Padova, Fritz Hansen and Kartell. For Oluce he designed the Atollo, Lyndon, Pascal and Sonora lamps. He taught as a visiting professor at the Royal College of Art in London.

Why You’ll Love It
Lyndon 161 brings the candelabra charm of the original Lyndon design onto the wall at a compact scale, with a single globe that lights an entry or patio corner. Choose black for a classic look or ivory for a lighter, airier feel.
Made for Real Life
The lamp takes 1 E12 bulb up to 10W. The bulb is not included, so you can choose the warmth and brightness you like. It is not dimmable and is built for outdoor use. Wipe the metal and polycarbonate with a soft dry or slightly damp cloth and avoid abrasive or solvent cleaners.
