Oluce

Thanks to their expressive power, the iconic forms of the products made by Oluce articulate a visual grammar that becomes narrative: stories, suggestions, emotions are revealed through the profile of the lamps. The evocative power of illumination is as important as its functional potentials, capable of translating objects into ideas and insights.

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.The company’s contemporary vocation is also interpreted, with a close eye on the future, through the intuition of young designers like the Italian-Japanese duo Mist-o – with the sculptural lamp LAS – or the students from Rome’s IED, Mariana Pellegrino Soto and Francesca Borelli, whose products, are now very much part of the company catalogue. New standard products and collections are joined by Bespoke Tailoring, the customisation service which Oluce launched in 2015 to cater for the contract sector. Bolstered by its long history in production and with the desire to enhance its human and creative knowledgebase, the company decided to put its lighting experience at the disposal of current market needs. Specially designed lamps or modular versions of pre-existing designs as well as standard products make up the vast and varied tailor made range which the company offers to meet, in the best possible way, the needs of large and small suppliers.
