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.

Its name immediately evokes its shape, we can envision the shape without seeing it. It is a small table lamp, the ideal mate for the evening, on a shelf near your bed, near the sofa wherever you want to have a little bit of light or wherever you want to read. A point of light, […]
The transformative powers of light come into play on the Torso Table Lamp, designed with a timeless look that lends itself to any setting. The elongated base ? cast from black-glazed stoneware and elongated for an understated yet sculptural expression ? holds a tactile linen shade that diffuses the light to create instant ambience. A […]
Suspension lamp in aluminum, composed of a slender structure with three light points and diffusers that can be selected according to different versions. Spot version available for punctual lighting, version with spherical diffuser in opal blown glass and version with a metallic cone in burnished gold and black finish that allows more light diffusion.
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.
