Oluce - Superluna anodized brass table lamp

Making his debut with Oluce, Victor Vaisilev proposes the SUPERLUNA lamp project that was inspired by a personal reflection on Vico Magistretti’s work, with his ability to develop iconic shapes to enhance the potential of the light source. Now that LED lights have revolutionised the world of artificial light, making it possible to reinvent luminaires starting from their source, Vaisilev proposes a family of lamps – available in floor and table versions – that originate from the desire to give a magical aura to an extremely technical light, by sizing the lamp parts starting with the LED footprint. The slender metal rod of the Superluna lamp conceals the electrical components and it hosts the light source: the LED opens out onto the stem in line with the semi-spherical shade that reflects its light by rotating on its own axis. In this way, the echo of the perpetual movement of celestial bodies is enhanced by the small luminous core contained in the structure of the lamp itself.

Victor Vaisilev

Victor Vasilev was born in 1974 in Plovdiv, Bulgaria. At the age of 15 his family immigrated to Israel. He studied architecture at the Politecnico di Milano  and at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts in Copenhagen. At the end of his studies, he decided to stay in Milan and in 2004 started his own practice. Collaborations with companies like Boffi, Living Divani, MDF Italia, Desalto and Antrax, have resulted in his winnig several international awards, such as: the Good Design Award by Chicago Atheneaum, the German Design Award and Interior Innovation Award. His design ideas are inspired by the continuous search for formal and material purity.
