Rare large adjustable triple arm floor lamp model 339/3 designed by Giuseppe Ostuni and manufactured by Oluce in Italy in 1955. This lamp has a beautiful round Carrara marble base which creates stability and a rich appearance. The lamp has solid brass telescopic and adjustable arms. The two outer stems can be positioned in any wanted position making this a very elegant, playful and versatile lamp. They have the typical Oluce connectors on the bottom. The shades are made from white lacquered aluminium and have a nice soft trumpet shape. Kept as original as possible with a striking patina. The outside of the shades are professionally refinished.

 

Founded in 1945 by Giuseppe Ostuni, Oluce is the oldest Italian design company still operating in the lighting world, a unique production excellence which translates passionate aesthetic and technological research into the potential of light into actual form. Over the years, Oluce has succeeded in building a collection structured like a tale, rich and multifaceted, inhabited by products that transcend fashion to become Italian design icons. In 1951, Oluce successfully took part in the IX Triennale, presenting – in the lighting section curated by Achille, Livio and Pier Giacomo Castiglioni – a Luminator designed by Franco Buzzi. As was typical at that time, the company instantly gained visibility on the international panorama thanks to Domus magazine.

 

A Major success was then reasserted by Tito Agnoli with nominations at the second edition of the Compasso d’Oro awards, in 1955, for his two lamps (the 363 floor lamp and a special bookshelf model). In 1956 these were followed in rapid succession by two more nominations: one for a remarkable table lamp in polyvinyl slats and another for a pendant lamp (mod. 4461) with double perspex shade. Then, there was the noteworthy 255/387 lamp (known as ”Agnoli”), a spot light supported by a slender stem, which in 1954 marked the decline of lampshades and the adoption of highly simplified floor lamps even for home lighting.
