Designed by Vico Magistretti
For many years now, Atollo has no longer been a lamp, or rather, it has no longer been just a lamp. It has become a myth, an icon: one of the best know symbols of Italian design wordwide, one of the very few products which people recognise and call with its own name. Designed by Vico Magistretti in 1977, it was awarded the Compasso d’Oro in 1979 and became, since then, part of the permanent collections of the world’s major museum of design, as well as part of the furniture of many homes of those who love and are able to select the things surrounding them. Atollo’s secret probably lies in the geometrical construction of its shapes: the cone on the cylinder and the semisphere above all. A luminous sculpture from which nothing can be removed to which nothing can be added. And which nothing can copy.

In 1946, Vico Magistretti conceived Claritas, his first lighting design, which conceptually aimed for clarity and brightness. In a context of reconstruction and reconversion of the war industry, for the first time Magistretti used bent metal tubes and a curved aluminium sheet as a reflector, which could be oriented and regulated, ensuring the desired lighting […]
Essential aesthetics and pure functionality. The swivelling arc in matte black painted steel allows wide movement, and gives the opportunity to both interact and decorate the space. The cylindrical spot, with optional anti-glare filter, allows the light to be directed as required. The light beam is warm and diffuse.
Charlotte Perriand was inspired by the boom of sailboats when in 1938 she conceived Potence Pivotante. Designed as a highly accessible swivel lamp, realized using two black tubular sections assembled in the shape of an inverted ?L? to lead the electrical wire from the switch to the bulb. The steel arm fixed to the wall […]
One of the iconic designs of the 1980s, Logo is a wall and floor system with a simple and rigorous aesthetics, represented by two slender aluminium stems and an adjustable diffuser to direct the light as required.
