Condition report
This rare “Atollo” table lamp, designed by the esteemed Vico Magistretti in 1977 and produced by Oluce Italy, stands as a true masterpiece of modern design. As one of Magistretti’s most celebrated creations, the Atollo lamp was honored with the prestigious Compasso d’Oro award in 1979, solidifying its status as an enduring design icon. Its bold, sculptural form exudes a strikingly elemental quality, seamlessly merging functionality with artistic expression.
This particular piece is an original first edition, model 233, from 1977. What makes it especially remarkable is its olive-brown coated aluminum finish, an experimental surface treatment that Oluce soon discontinued due to quality control concerns. As a result, only a limited number were ever produced, making this version exceptionally rare and highly sought after by collectors. Over time, the aluminum coating has developed a captivating patina, with subtle imperfections that narrate its history and enhance its one-of-a-kind character. The result is a true sculptural piece, reminiscent of a mushroom in form and presence.
Beyond its striking aesthetics, the Atollo lamp delivers a warm, atmospheric glow, effortlessly elevating any interior with sophistication and elegance. This piece remains in completely original condition, featuring its original dimmable switch and plug. A rare opportunity to own a piece of design history, this Atollo lamp represents a perfect fusion of rarity, innovation, and masterful craftsmanship, making it a prized addition for any discerning collector or design aficionado.
