This rare “Atollo” table lamp, designed by the renowned Vico Magistretti in 1977 and manufactured by Oluce, is a masterpiece of modern design. Recognized as one of Magistretti’s most celebrated creations, the Atollo lamp earned the prestigious Compasso d’Oro award in 1979, cementing its place as a design icon. Its bold, sculptural form embodies a strong elemental quality, seamlessly blending functionality with artistic expression.
This particular piece is an original first edition, model 233, from 1977. What sets it apart is its rust-brown coated aluminum finish, an experimental surface treatment that Oluce discontinued shortly after production due to not meeting their quality standards. As a result, only a limited number were ever made, making this version highly coveted by collectors. Over the years, the aluminum has developed a stunning patina, with scratches and imperfections that tell the story of its journey and add to its unique character.
The Atollo lamp is not just a visual statement but also a source of exceptional atmospheric light. Its timeless design complements any interior with an air of sophistication and elegance. This lamp is in completely original condition, featuring its original dimmable switch and plug. An extraordinary opportunity to own a piece of design history, this Atollo lamp combines rarity, innovation, and unparalleled craftsmanship, making it a true centerpiece for any discerning collector or design enthusiast.
