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 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.

Cobra, designed by Elio Martinelli in 1968 is over 50 years old, but doesn’t look it. A lamp still in the catalogue today for the fascination it continues to exert for the public. A lamp that is still timely, even if it took several years for its innovative design to be appreciated despite its simple […]

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.
The Albini AM/AS collection represents the rationalistic philosophy of the Milanese architect. A 1969 design that combines linear shapes with the extreme quality of materials, such as the hand-blown glass of diffusers. Aiming to manage the different volumes of the space with a single design: ceiling, wall, floor and table.
