Angelo Lelli (1911-1989) Angelo Lelli was the founder of Arredoluce, an Italian company specialized in lighting editions active from 1947 to 1987. He was born in 1911 in the Ancona region but moved with his family to the north of Italy to pursue his studies at ISIA (Superior Institute of Industrial Art) at the University of Decorative Arts in Monza, outside Milan. It was in Monza also where as early as 1939 he started working out of a small basement workshop, producing lamps and chandelier designs with clean lines, strong attention to detail, and applying the newest technologies.

Over the following decades, the company’s collaborators included renowned designers such as Giò Ponti, Ettore Sottsass, Pier Giacomo, and Achille Castiglioni. The most well-known designs of Angelo Lelii are the Triennale floor lamp model...
