The idea is elementary: a metal dome sits inside a glass cylinder. The dome holds the light source, and the glass spreads the glow across the surface the lamp stands on. The cable drops through the center of the cylinder and, in the play of reflections, seems to draw the tentacles of a jellyfish, which gives the lamp its name.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eThe Designers\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0119\/3052\/files\/oluce-quaglio-simonelli-designers.jpg?v=1792693797\" alt=\"Portrait of designers Andrea Quaglio and Manuela Simonelli, who designed the Medusa lamp for Oluce\" width=\"540\" style=\"max-width:100%;height:auto\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eQuaglio Simonelli is a design duo made up of Andrea Quaglio and Manuela Simonelli, who both studied at the Università del Progetto in Reggio Emilia. Philippe Starck invited them to join the creative center of Thomson Multimédia as product designers, and they spent more than a decade there and later at TCL, where Manuela became Global Strategic Design lead. Alongside that work they design technology products, furniture, decorative objects and packaging for beauty brands, mixing industrial production with craft methods. Their objects feel familiar while holding a few unexpected, poetic touches.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“The support does not uphold the lampshade but contains it.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOluce, on Medusa\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow It Was Made\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe metal dome stays suspended inside the cylinder thanks to a fold in the glass itself, so there is no visible fixing. The cylinder is Pyrex glass and the dome has a metal reflector inside. A fabric-covered cable and an on\/off switch complete the lamp, which Oluce finishes in lacquered black, scarlet red or satin gold.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eDownloads\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.oluce.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/OLU-medusa-254-technical-data-sheet.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eTechnical sheet (PDF)\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.oluce.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/OLU-medusa-254-mounting-instructions.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eAssembly instructions (PDF)\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.oluce.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/OLU-medusa-254.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eProduct details sheet (PDF)\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy You’ll Love It\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMedusa is a lamp that seems to hover. The dome glows warmly inside clear glass, and the light fans out across a table, shelf or nightstand in a soft pool. The three colors make it easy to choose a quiet black, a bright red or a warm gold, and it looks just as good in a group of two or three as it does on its own.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eMade for Real Life\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 4W LED is integrated, so there is no bulb to find or replace, and the 2700K light is warm and easy on the eyes. Turn it on with the switch on the cable. Wipe the glass with a soft dry or slightly damp cloth and avoid abrasive or solvent cleaners.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eProduct Details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv
