Giuseppe Ostuni for O-Luce '339/2’ Two-Armed Floor Lamp in Marble and Brass
About the Item
Giuseppe Ostuni for O-Luce, floor lamp, model ‘339/2’, brass, enameled aluminum, marble, Italy, 1952
Designed in 1952, this floor lamp is developed by the influential designer in the field of lighting design Giuseppe Ostuni, which he took into production for his new established lighting design company 'O-Luce'. Not only is this lamp aesthetically pleasing, but it is also clearly designed to provide a light source to adjust to one's own requirement. O-Luce manufactured an extremely complicated construction of rollers and springs inside the lamp bar (less than 15mm circumference) which allowed a smooth height adjustment without any cable impingement. Combined with a precision ball joint at the base, this lamp has an almost unlimited rotating telescopic flexibility. In addition, the natural crème-colored cone-shaped shade can be rotated to change the direction of the light partition. The 339/2 model embodies a fusion of uncomplicated elegance and technological advancement. In 1950, Giuseppe Ostuni and his brother Angelo Ostuni received international recognition for their exceptional lighting designs, mostly for the application of adjustable features in their designs which was highly innovative during that period.
Biography
Giuseppe Ostuni (1907-1994) can be considered one of the most influential designers in modern lighting design. Born in Trieste, Italy in 1907, Giuseppe and his older brother Angelo Ostuni (1904-1981) grew up in turbulent times; in 1915 Italy declared war on the Habsburg Empire during the First World War. Only a few years later in 1922, Benito Mussolini became head of the Italian government and began to establish his fascist regime that would last till 1943. During the last year of the Second World War, Giuseppe Ostuni and his family lived with his brother Angelo in Milan. There, Giuseppe started to repair lampshades that had been damaged during the war. New lampshades were made with limited resources, all by hand, due to the lack of available materials. As an autodidact, he designed modern and convenient lighting through intense study and ‘learning by doing’. Soon after, Giuseppe set up his own workshop in 1947, and in 1948 he officially registered his company ‘O-LUCE’. Together with his brother Angelo, who made a great part of the lighting drawings, he worked on numerous designs and worked together with leading designers as Franco Buzzi, Tito Angoli, Joe Colombo, Marco Zanuso and more.
