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.

Realised in 1979, Kuta expresses Magistretti?s constant quest to combine simplicity and geometric rigour with an evocative lighting effect of lights and shadows.

The sculptural shape is the result of a simple geometric configuration that combines productive and functional intelligence, perfectly capturing the characteristic traits of the design by Vico Magistretti.

Inspired by geometric shapes and mathematical objects, Armen is a game of imbrication and balance between two simple forms: the cone and the sphere. Like the eponymous lighthouse, the light is guided by the three cones.
Designed by Charlotte Perriand for her mountain chalet Le Vieux Matelot, Applique Cylindrique is a design that dates back to the early 1930s. Her interest in pivoting screens reflects her observation on human gestures: a simple touch allows to direct the lampshade and to control the light beam, making it possible to adjust intensity and […]

Inspired by the Japanese pine tree in the ground, the BrichetZiegler studio carved this lighting object with mastery and precision. Niwaki is an artificial plant. Carved for the wind, it seems to float and glide through the air. Its finish reflects a balance between work and humility, this lamp is orga(mecha)nic.
Tizio features articulated design that is always perfectly balanced thanks to the counterweights formed by a revolutionary structure that supports the head and at the same time powers the light source, originally a low-voltage halogen bulb, today also a LED. Thanks to the intelligence and elegance with which Tizio combines these two elements, the lamp […]
