About the Item

Rare early version of the 201 floor lamp designed by Giuseppe Ostuni and manufactured by Oluce in Italy in 1952. It is composed of a circular metal base, a ingenious brass telescopic stem and a metal conical lampshade. The arm and the lampshade are adjustable. The lampshade has a white lacquered interior and diffuses a soft light. On the lampshade you find the light switch. Super unique design as this lamp can serve as a table lamp or floor lamp. Beautiful details can be seen on this lamp like the cable guide on the stem and the way the arm that hold the shade. This is a small horizontal brass bar with the connection mechanism to rotate the shade. A highly innovative lamp in that time of design in the 1950s. Founded in 1945 by Giuseppe Ostuni, Oluce is the oldest Italian design company still operating in the lighting world, a unique production excellence which translates passionate aesthetic and technological research into the potential of light into actual form. Over the years, Oluce has succeeded in building a collection structured like a tale, rich and multifaceted, inhabited by products that transcend fashion to become Italian design icons. In 1951, Oluce successfully took part in the IX Triennale, presenting – in the lighting section curated by Achille, Livio and Pier Giacomo Castiglioni – a Luminator designed by Franco Buzzi. As was typical at that time, the company instantly gained visibility on the international panorama thanks to Domus magazine. A Major success was then reasserted by Tito Agnoli with nominations at the second edition of the Compasso d’Oro awards, in 1955, for his two lamps (the 363 floor lamp and a special bookshelf model). In 1956 these were followed in rapid succession by two more nominations: one for a remarkable table lamp in polyvinyl slats and another for a pendant lamp (mod. 4461) with double perspex shade. Then, there was the noteworthy 255/387 lamp (known as ”Agnoli”), a spot light supported by a slender stem, which in 1954 marked the decline of lampshades and the adoption of highly simplified floor lamps even for home lighting. Literature; Apparechhi per Illuminazione Giuseppe Ostuni O-Luce, page 88/89. This lamp is checked in our own atelier, cleaned and is also suitable for use in the USA. For US usage we could change the plug, or you can get a converter if needed for a floor or table lamp with transformer in it.
