PHILOSOPHY
Over the years, the company has been able to create a collection structured as if it were a story, consisting of products capable of going beyond trends to become icons of Italian design. Oluce, already present at the 9th Triennale in Milan, throughout its long history has received numerous acknowledgements, including two Golden Compass awards, two Design Awards and the Gold Medal at the 13th Triennale in Milan. Its lamps appear in the most important permanent design collections worldwide.
Thus, the absolute geometries of Vico Magistretti, the now classical modernity of Joe Colombo, the discretion of Tito Agnoli and Marco Zanuso, have been joined by a new generation of Italian and international designers’ projects, who have been able to apply the technological innovations to the unmistakable aesthetic features of the company.
The poetic minimalism of Laudani&Romanelli, Sam Hecht and AngelettiRuzza, the dry words of Gordon Guillaumier, Carlo Colombo and Lutz Pankow; the expressive research of Francesco Rota, Ferdi Giardini, and Paolo Imperatori and the concise elegance of Astori/De Ponti and Nendo, Sam Hecht, Jörg Boner and Nendo.
The company’s most recent projects, designed by AngelettiRuzza, Giopato&Coombes, Victor Vaisilev, Nicola Gallizia, Mist-O and Christophe Pillet, confirm the company’s attitude to embody a sophisticated international style, wisely balancing tradition and innovation.
