Rare "380" Floor Lamp by Giuseppe Ostuni & Renato Forti for Oluce, Italy, 1960s

About the Item

A highly technical and avant-garde design for its time, this floor lamp by Giuseppe Ostuni & Renato Forti for Oluce (Italy, circa 1960) was a true pioneer in lighting design, inspiring many later creations. Characterized by its precision engineering and functional elegance, the lamp features a nickel-plated metal base and a brass stem, embodying a sophisticated mix of materials. The black lacquered metal cylinder at the top allows for manual height adjustment of the white cotton lampshade (ranging from 138.5 cm to 160 cm), an advanced feature for the era that enhanced both versatility and usability. This model set a benchmark in midcentury lighting design, with its clean lines and adjustable functionality, influencing countless later designs. Beautiful patina on the brass, adding depth and character. Original Italian plug intact. Some minor signs of wear on the base, highlighted in photos. Dimensions: Ø 40 × H 170 cm (15.7 × 67 inches) Adjustable lampshade height: 138.5 – 160 cm (54.5 – 63 inches) Preserved in its original condition, this rare Oluce lamp is a timeless collector's piece, perfect for both vintage and modern interiors. Worldwide shipping available. Please inquire for further details.

Angelo Ostuni and Renato Forti 399 Floor Lamp in Metal by Oluce 1960s
By Renato Forti, Oluce, Angelo Ostuni
Located in Montecatini Terme, IT
Floor lamp model 399 (from cornalux series) with structure in nickel-plated metal, lacquered metal and cast iron. The lamp bulb is adjustable in height achieved by a bracket that allows the lamp to be slid up and down the lamp stem. This lamp was designed by the Italian duo formed by Angelo Ostuni & Renato Forti and manufactured by O-Luce in 1958. Measurements: H 141 x Ø 24 diameter (base 20cm). 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. Its relationship with the design world begins 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. 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...
