Additional Information
Designer: Vico Magistretti
Ludovico Magistretti (1920 - 2006) was an Italian designer and architect. Born into a middle-class Milanese family, Vico Magistretti attended the Parini classical high school and then enrolled in the Faculty of Architecture of the Royal Polytechnic of Milan, where leading figures in the architectural panorama of the time such as Gio Ponti and Piero Portaluppi taught. Between 1943 and 1944 he decided, like many intellectuals of the time, to leave his own country and moved to Switzerland where he was able to follow some academic courses. His acquaintance with Ernesto Nathan Rogers dates back to that period, and will remain in the architect's memory as a key person in his intellectual formation. In 1945 he returned to Milan, where he graduated in Architecture at the Polytechnic. In 1956 he was one of the founding members of ADI, the Association for Industrial Design. His latest design projects were presented at the Salone del Mobile in 2008. His design works are exhibited in the permanent collection of MOMA in New York and in other museums in America and Europe.Find out more about Ludovico Magistretti with our insights:

Founded in 1945 by Giuseppe Ostuni, master artisan, Oluce is, in the field of lighting, the oldest Italian design company still active. Before the world conflict, there was only Arteluce by Gino Sarfatti, which disappeared at the end of the '90s; in 1948 Azucena and Lamperti were born, in 1950 Arredoluce and Stilnovo. However, it was especially Arteluce, Azucena, and Oluce that focused, for many years, the Italian landscape, establishing themselves as meeting points for those designers who, strongly involved first by reconstruction and then by the rise of mass production, animated the Milanese debate: Vittoriano Viganò and the BBPR, Gigi Caccia Dominioni and Ignazio Gardella, Marco Zanuso, and finally Joe Colombo. Already in 1951 Oluce participated, successfully, in the IX Triennale. A great success was affirmed by Tito Agnoli with the mentions at the second edition of the Compasso d'Oro, in 1955, for two lamps (the floor model 363 and a special bookshelf model). In 1956, two more mentions followed in quick succession: for a remarkable slatted polyvinyl table lamp and for a suspension fixture (mod. 4461) with a double diffuser in perspex. It is crucial to remember, finally, in 1954, the 255/387 fixture (called “Agnoli”), a slender rod supporting a spotlight, marking the end of lampshades and the adoption of very simplified floor lamps even in domestic lighting. Meanwhile, in 1963, in production from 1965, Marco Zanuso designed for Oluce a forgotten masterpiece, the table lamp model 275 with a large white perspex diffuser adjustable by rotation on a lacquered metal base. In 1964/66, again from a material, the pressed glass called “Lente Fresnel,” the family of watertight outdoor lamps "Fresnel" with a painted metal base and diffuser held by steel clips was born with Joe Colombo. In 1967 Colombo was already ahead and, with the model "Coupé," preserved at MoMa in New York, proposed a large curved stem supporting a very elegant semicylindrical shade. The Coupé won, in 1968, the "International Design Award" from the American Institute of Interior Designers in Chicago. Finally, in 1970, entering production in 1972, a year after the premature death of Joe Colombo, the "Halogen lamp" was born, necessarily called "Colombo" from then on. In 2001 white Murano glass stones and transparent perspex rods populated the Oluce stand at Euroluce. Designed by Laudani&Romanelli and Ferdi Giardini, they propose a way of understanding design that goes beyond function to become poetry. Finally, Oki Sato, that is Nendo, the most refined among the new Japanese designers, entered the Oluce team with "Sorane" first and then with "Switch." But this is no longer the history of Oluce, rather Oluce's contribution to contemporary design.Time: 1970s
