About the Item

Pair of table lamps, designed by Giuseppe Ostuni and produced by his company Oluce. Each lamp features a cylindrical base in chromed steel, fitted with a wide lacquered metal shade in vivid blue enamel. The design is both minimal and playful. The reflective column anchors the space, while the enamel shade asserts color and volume with confidence. Ostuni’s approach to lighting was as a sculptural element of the modern interior. He founded Oluce in Milan in 1945, making it one of Italy’s oldest lighting firms, and quickly established himself as a leading figure in postwar design. His lamps often combine precise industrial fabrication with strong architectural forms.

G.O. 252 Table Lamp by Giuseppe Ostuni for Oluce
By Oluce, Giuseppe Ostuni
Located in Brooklyn, NY
The G.O. lamp is the revival edition of a model designed for Oluce by Giuseppe Ostuni in the 1960s. A lamp that, in the essence of its design, is extremely current, characterised by a vertical shaft from which a horizontal arm branches off and on which the lampshade is mounted. The arm, thanks to the system of joints, is therefore a sliding element that can be repositioned and oriented depending on specific needs. A family which maintains the style of the original design, like the use of the cylindrical lampshade and the contrast between the materials with which the various elements are made. The revival edition is enhanced by precious details in satin gold, which stand out in contrast with the black nickel – of the arm – and the colours of the base and the lampshade, these last two available in three different colours: black, scarlet, and anodic bronze.
