Giuseppe Ostuni, the founder of Oluce, has been a key figure in the history of Italian design, thanks to his skill at combining innovation, functionality and aesthetics. Ostuni has created numerous projects featuring clean, essential geometric shapes that embody a perfect equilibrium between simplicity and elegance.

Under his guidance, Oluce not only established itself as a landmark in the lighting sector but also became a platform for experimentation and innovation for many designers. Thanks to Ostuni’s forward-looking vision, the brand attracted collaborations with some of the most illustrious names in international design, including Joe Colombo, Tito Agnoli and Marco Zanuso. Influenced by Ostuni’s innovative approach, these talents created some iconic, epoch-defining pieces for Oluce, helping to write the history of Italian lighting.

Ostuni did not limit himself to coordinating projects: he also played a crucial role in creating a strong and recognisable identity for Oluce, that could stand out in a rapidly evolving industrial panorama. His attention to quality, detail and experimentation led the company to explore new technologies and to develop design solutions that anticipated trends in contemporary design. Giuseppe Ostuni’s contribution continues to be a source of inspiration for Oluce today, preserving and renewing its legacy with a constant dialogue between the past and the future. Among the many lights that Ostuni designed during the history of Oluce, the present catalogue features a revival version of a lamp that he designed in the 1960s: the G.O. lamp.
