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 […]
Its sinuous curves resulting from the shaping of a sheet of frosted methacrylate softly diffuse the light. It brings together ?simplicity and concept? which for Magistretti are at the heart of durable design.

The Ware Table Lamp brings together two distinct flowing forms into a single object. Appearing like a pair of shells huddling together on a cold shore, the rounded front hides the lighting diffuser – allowing a soft illumination to swell up from within. Once illuminated, a sense of depth is created between the pieces textured […]
Tempio light draws its inspiration from Japanese temples, from their calm philosophy, their colours and portico forms.

Thierry Dreyfus has created a lamp designed to provide light, of course, but even more, to light up the intimate, and even better, to light up the night, softly. A white object, soothing by day, calming at night, La lampe B is a sincere gesture.
An instant classic, the JWDA Lamp is the kind of sculptural piece that turns heads and brings new life to a room. The contrast of the delicate, rounded glass with the sturdy base makes for a balanced and intriguing silhouette.
