Tito Agnoli Model "387" Floor Lamp, 1955 – First Edition, Minimalist Icons
About the Item
A true masterpiece of mid-century Italian lighting design, the Model 387 floor lamp, designed by Tito Agnoli in 1954, represents an exceptionally rare first edition. Known as the Agnoli Standard Lamp, this stunning piece is one of the earliest icons of modernist lighting, seamlessly combining form and function in an effortlessly refined silhouette.
A pioneer of minimalist design, the 387 model remains one of the longest-standing pieces in the Oluce catalog, showcasing Agnoli’s visionary and essentialist approach to lighting. Its design is stripped down to its purest elements, proving that simplicity can be both timeless and poetic.
A defining feature of this first edition is its solid Italian travertine base, which exhibits a remarkable natural patina—adding warmth and material depth to the lamp’s sculptural presence. The adjustable height mechanism, secured by a functional metal screw, offers flexible use, while the slender nickel-plated brass stem bears elegant signs of age, a testament to the authenticity and historical value of the piece.

Tito Agnoli
Prolific designer Tito Agnoli created imaginative furniture with a singular mix of natural and industrial materials. Designing in the modern and mid-century modern styles, he made sofas, armchairs and daybeds from leather, bamboo and rattan as well as metal table lamps and floor lamps.
Born into an Italian family in Peru in 1931, Agnoli studied at the Faculty of Architecture in Milan. In 1949, he graduated with a degree in architecture from Politecnico di Milano. While there, he became acquainted with designers Gio Ponti and Carlo De Carli. He later worked with them as an assistant, learning to create austere pieces with flawless dimensions.
Utilizing this knowledge, he developed his own practice and worked with many Italian producers, including Arflex, Cinova, Lema, Matteo Grassi, Molteni, Montina, Oluce, Pierantonio Bonacina, Poltrona Frau, Schiffini and Ycami.
Agnoli received prestigious nominations for the Compasso d’Oro award. At the 1986 NeoCon exhibition in Chicago, he won a gold medal. His works are in the collections of the Museum of Modern Art in New York.

Tito Agnoli Model #387 'Agnoli' Floor Lamp in Nickel and Travertine for Oluce
By Tito Agnoli, Oluce
Located in Glendale, CA
Tito Agnoli model #387 'Agnoli' floor lamp in nickel and travertine for Oluce.
Designed in 1954, this ultra-refined lamp is now considered to be a key forerunner of minimalism. Executed in nickel-plated metal and travertine base. This newly produced authorized re-edition features a detachable Cornalux glass element covering a G9 bulb capable of directing beautifully diffused light in a highly precise manner. The bulb can be rotated and adjusted up or down
Model 387 has always been referred to as the 'Agnoli,' named after its designer Tito Agnoli. It is one of the most historic lamps in the Oluce catalog. As a precursor of minimalism, the Agnoli lamp used the “Cornalux” light bulb, capable of directing light in an extremely precise manner, by mounting it on top of a sliding mechanism positioned on a stem. The sophisticated travertine base represents the component that adds a touch of elegance to an object in which simplicity and functionality become elements of pure poetry.
