Oluce returns to Euroluce 2025 with a presentation that reflects on its 80-year history while introducing a new lineup of designs. Founded in 1945, Oluce stands as the oldest active Italian company focused exclusively on lighting. The brand built its reputation through collaborations with design figures like Joe Colombo, Vico Magistretti, Marco Zanuso, and Tito Agnoli, whose projects helped shape modern lighting culture. Icons such as Atollo, Coupé, and Acrilica continue to hold space in major collections at institutions like the MoMA in New York and the Triennale in Milan.
The anniversary stand, curated by Ferruccio Laviani, draws inspiration from Herbert Bayer’s Diagramma della visione and introduces a spatial concept that reflects Bauhaus principles of perception and form. The layout creates a three-dimensional timeline, allowing visitors to move through decades of work, where past and present models appear side by side in a visual conversation.
Vico Magistretti’s Lyndon in New Outdoor Forms
One of the most anticipated returns is the Lyndon lamp, designed by Vico Magistretti in 1977. Known for its candelabra-like structure and transparent globes, the classic floor version now expands into a wall model and a table variant. Both retain the essence of Magistretti’s vision, with reduced forms that suit smaller spaces or outdoor corners.
All three versions now appear in new finishes: a full black option and a tonal ivory variant, introducing a quieter, more architectural tone to the familiar design. These additions bring the Lyndon into outdoor settings with elegance and clarity.
Berlin-Out Series Expands Outdoor Range
Oluce continues to grow its outdoor catalogue with new additions to the Berlin-Out series by Christophe Pillet. The lamps balance cylindrical forms and soft curves, with a clear relationship between stem and shade. A key detail is the adjustable 180° light head, which improves usability in both contract and residential contexts.
The Berlin-Out line includes reading, arched, and table models in either ivory or a mix of black base and English green shade. The series also introduces a wall version that transitions into bathroom settings, made possible by the water-resistant finish and soft diffusion of light through a honeycomb panel. New finishes, matt black, anodised bronze, and satin aluminium, add flexibility across different interiors.
Mini Spider and Agnoli Table Versions Join the Indoor Line
Among the indoor debuts, Mini Spider reimagines Joe Colombo’s original design in a compact format. Retaining the distinct ‘hammer head’ profile, the table lamp introduces chrome accents paired with a lacquered metal base. Offered in black, scarlet red, and blue, Mini Spider adds color while maintaining the focus on Colombo’s futuristic language.
The Agnoli lamp also returns in table form, maintaining Tito Agnoli’s iconic sliding mechanism. Oluce introduces two finishes for this reissue: a matt black base with satin nickel structure and a new black satin nickel version. The lamp continues to perform as both a sculptural object and a functional light source, bridging mid-century precision with current needs.
New Material Studies in Glass and Metal
Glass features prominently in two of the brand’s newest indoor additions. Victor Vasilev’s Dancing Glass lamp, in wall and pendant formats, uses asymmetric forms to create movement and reflection. Smoke-toned and clear glass alternate across compositions, generating depth and shadow play that shifts with each viewing angle.
Marta Laudani and Marco Romanelli’s Lanterna lamp returns in a version made from Pyrex. This technical material introduces durability without losing clarity, and comes in two updated finishes, amber and smoky grey. The changes expand Lanterna’s presence in modern interiors while reinforcing its sculptural effect.
Showroom Presence During Milan Design Week
Beyond the Euroluce fair, Oluce also took part in Milan Design Week with a curated presentation at Salvioni Milano Durini. Located at Via Durini 3, the showroom featured a two-floor installation combining archive pieces and new releases. Iconic models such as Atollo and Colombo appeared alongside the latest iterations of Dancing Glass and Lanterna, reinforcing the ongoing collaboration between Oluce and Salvioni Design Solutions.
The installations at both Euroluce and Salvioni reflected Oluce’s continued influence on Italian lighting design. Each lamp contributed to a narrative rooted in form and material clarity. As the brand marked its 80th anniversary, it reaffirmed its focus on meaningful design that engages both space and atmosphere.
