Oluce - 1953 table lamp

A tribute to the masters of lighting, names that have contributed to the history of design and of Oluce itself: this year the company presents the reissue of a product from the 50s by Ostuni and Forti.

The lamp 1953 designed, by Ostuni e Forti, has two models, floor and table, varying in proportion and size but identical in their design which shifts the whole lampshade section from the centre to the side. A range that elegantly recalls the style of those years, such as the use of a shade in the classic cylindrical shape and the fine contrast of the satin gold – stem and shade’s interior – against the black – the exterior of the shade, the base and the stem grip.

Decorative but with a clean, linear design, 1953 is striking in its modernity, attesting to Oluce’s instinct to create objects capable of transcending fashions and eras.

Oluce

Founded in 1945, Oluce is the oldest Italian design company in the illumination sector still in operation today. The design qualities of the lamps make them icons that communicate across the generations to become an integral part of the homes they furnish.Thanks to their expressive power, the iconic forms of products made by Oluce articulate a visual grammar that becomes a narrative. Stories, suggestions, emotions are revealed through the profile of the lamps.
During its history, the company has received numerous awards, including two Compassi d'Oro, two Design Awards and the Gold Medal at the XIII Milan Triennale. Its lamps appear in the world's most important permanent design collections.
