Timeless Light – Oluce on display during Milano Design City 2020


“For every minute we keep our eyes closed, we lose sixty seconds of light”
(Gabriel Garcia Marquez)

Oluce will show off its new products for 2019-2020 in Milan at the Milano #design City 2020 #event from 28 September to 10 October.

For the occasion, the Molteni&C | Dada showroom of Via Solferino, on the corner of Via Pontaccio, will host the new products in an elegant, contemporary setting. The products on display are the expression of a well-defined aesthetic and of a new way of interpreting spaces: outdoor and indoor lamps, the latest designs by up-and-coming designers, ultra-new takes on classic products by the masters of design, range extensions and products already in the catalogue renewed with new, contemporary finishes.

The Ilo family, by designer David Lopez Quincoces from Madrid, offers three product versions: suspension lamp, rise and fall suspension lamp, and wall light. All the models share the same elegant, slender design of the aluminium bar housing the #light source, expertly crafted with precision mechanics.

In the Ilo suspension lamp, the bar is divided into two parts by colour. The first gives the effect of a handle, while the second houses the long LED bulb. The generous size of this model is in harmonious contrast with its slim profile.

In the rise and fall version, the bar - re-proportioned and set vertically - moves lightly on a steel wire, fixed to the ceiling and held in suspension by a floor-skimming weight, creating reflections and #light play.

The Ilo wall lamp, keeping the same size as the rise and fall version, is mounted on the wall via a square plate, whose pivot allows movement in any direction, offering a variety of aesthetic and practical lighting options, as the fixture itself also rotates 90°.

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, named 1953 after the year of its creation, 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.

The company’s new products include several designs by young, emerging designers of the European #design Institute (IED) in Rome.

Marta Perla has designed Siro, a semi-spherical table lamp with a disc at the front releasing in its interior an oblique #light thanks to the slim LED #light source. Seen from the front, Siro appears to consist of two two dimensional elements, giving the illusion of being perfectly balanced on a surface.

It takes its name from the necessity, so typical of man, to search in celestial movements, possible links between one's own past and cosmic phenomena. Hence Siro, deriving from Sirius, the brightest white star in the night sky.

Siro comes in two sizes and two finishes: satin bronze or satin gold, with the interior of the sphere in white, heightening the contrast in colour in a simple, graphic way.

Mariana Pellegrino Soto has designed the main new products for the collections dedicated to both the indoor and outdoor environments: products designed and created for indoors that, with varying finishes, sizes and specifications, can also be used outdoors, and vice versa.

Amanita is a reading lamp consisting of two discs: the first, the slimmest, functions as the base, while the second and thicker of the two houses the LED bulb. The two metal discs are connected and spaced by a slim, oblique stem in the shape of a 'Z'.

The same #design, with revised proportions and modified materials and finishes, is also offered in its outdoor version. Amanita is transformed from reading lamp to an elegant outdoor path-light. The Indian bronze finish of this version, together with its stylish silhouette and the transparency of the lamp body in polymethyl methacrylate, make it an object destined to grace the most refined gardens and public spaces of import.

The project by Federica Farina, on the other hand, is dedicated entirely to the outdoor world. Otto is a path-light with a soft, beguiling shape. The slim disc of the base supports a cylindrical stem on which an adjustable semi-sphere housing the LED #light rests, which, thanks to a mechanism allowing it to incline, can direct the strip of #light in varying directions.

Alongside the new collections, #oluce also presents an expansion of the models, sizes and finishes of several products already in the catalogue.

Berlin by Christopher Pillet is an object that reconsiders the common conception of the ceiling #light, turning its traditional discretion on its head by transforming it into a stylish, decorative presence, inspired by the aesthetic diktat of the Bauhaus. To coincide with the centenary of this celebrated movement, #oluce is expanding the range of available formats, presenting the new ø50 cm version, to join the ø40 and ø30 cm already in the collection. For use both on the ceiling and on the wall, Berlin consists of a substantial metal ring with a slim profile, enclosing a wired-glass disc. Its satin brass finish evokes art déco, brought up to date by its shape and by the use of LED bulbs.

The Alba collection designed by Mariana Pellegrino Soto is expanded with two new models and finishes.

The star of the collection is still the polished opal glass drop, inspired in the designer's imagination by a drop of water, and used in several ways depending on the model.

In the wall-mounted version, aside from the existing version, where the drop sits lightly on a square-section tube, supporting it by its attachment to the rose, there is a new variation with a tube in the form of an upturned 'L'. Available in two sizes, the new Alba wall #light asserts its refined, decorative character.

Alba suspension - alongside the single version, with one drop gracefully suspended by a cord, and the double version, whose cord supports a satin brass finish metal structure, with two offset arms, underneath which the opaline drops sparkle - there is a version with metal structure and only one drop, to complete the range.

To complete the collection, two floor lamps, with one or two arms, and one table lamp, making it one of the largest ranges available in the #oluce catalogue.

As well as the new models, Alba's available finishes are increasing, with the introduction of the new bronze anodisation for the suspension and floor versions.

Semplice, designed for #oluce by Sam Hecht is a table lamp consisting of a single blown glass bell, acting as both the diffuser and the base for the #design. The lower end, in fact, rests directly on the floor, while the upper part of the bell containing the luminous bulb is covered internally by a metal cap, today proposed in the new satin gold glaze finish.

Lys, designed by Silvana Angeletti and Daniele Ruzza, is a suspension lamp characterised by a distinctive sinuous and slender bell-shaped luminous head that hosts the LED #light source. An object of sophisticated, discreet elegance presented in the new satin gold glaze and anodic bronze versions.

The same finishes are also proposed for another two lamps in the #oluce catalogue: Kin and Lens.

Kin, a suspension lamp in which the cast aluminium body and Led core are masterfully combined in the #design by Francesco Rota, creating an object of explicit yet refined beauty. The flared shape of the body, with its slender thicknesses, is closed with a methacrylate disc from which its Led #light is diffused.

Lens, also designed by Francesco Rota, is a wall lamp inspired by contemporary sculpture with a notable decorative value, which plays with the curvature of its surfaces in an interesting interplay of #light and mirrors. In fact, Lens is a direct #light wall lamp with a concave screen that creates a barrier between the #light source and the surrounding area.

New finishes are also on the cards for the entire classic collection of Colombo lamps designed by Joe Colombo in 1970, driven by the fast spread of halogen #light sources and acknowledged as an icon of the history of Italian #design. This project was in fact one of the first lamps for residential use to adopt this new resource, now replaced by a new Led #light source. The #design of the Colombo lamp– today proposed with base, black chrome stem and anodic bronze adjustable reflector – responds to the demands for clean shapes and technological functionality that have always gone hand in hand with the concept and #design of this great designer.

Finally, two brand new versions of the iconic lamps designed by Vico Magistretti that have made the history of the company: the Pascal floor lamp proposed – alongside the classic white version with base in pietra erena – in the new anodic bronze version and the Atollo table lamp, also available in the new anodic bronze version.

Two lamps with a level of perfection that enhances Vico Magistretti's #design aesthetic: pure geometric shapes, united to create functional, symbolic compositions. In Atollo, the cylinder, cone and semi-sphere combine in a perfect balance of proportions. With Pascal, the cone is highlighted by repetition.

From 28 September until 10 October the showroom will open from 3pm to 7pm on Mondays and from 10am to 7pm from Tuesday to Sunday, and visits will only be possible if booked, and in compliance with all the anti-covid safety regulations. For appointments and information, you can email press@oluce.com or telephone 338 21 53 961.
