Giuseppe Ostuni model 339 floor lamp Oluce Italy 1955

About the Item

Rare large adjustable triple arm floor lamp model 339/3 designed by Giuseppe Ostuni and manufactured by Oluce in Italy in 1955. This lamp has a beautiful round Carrara marble base which creates stability and a rich appearance. The lamp has solid brass telescopic and adjustable arms. The two outer stems can be positioned in any wanted position making this a very elegant, playful and versatile lamp. They have the typical Oluce connectors on the bottom. The shades are made from white lacquered aluminium and have a nice soft trumpet shape. Kept as original as possible with a striking patina. The outside of the shades are professionally refinished. 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: O-luce di Giuseppe Ostuni I Thomas Brauninger 2021, page 99 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.
