SILVER Seller in Pistoia, Italy
399 floor lamp from the Cornalux series by Angelo Ostuni and Renato Forti for Oluce, 1950s (1958). Nickel-plated metal, lacquered metal and cast iron structure. Bulb adjustable in height thanks to a bracket that allows it to slide up and down the stem of the lamp. Base diameter: 20 cm. Founded in 1945 by Giuseppe Ostuni, Oluce is the oldest Italian design company still operating in the world of lighting, a unique manufacturing excellence that translates passionate aesthetic and technological research into the potential of light in concrete form. Over the years Oluce has managed to build a collection structured like a story, rich and multifaceted, inhabited by products that transcend fashion to become icons of Italian design. In 1951 Oluce successfully participated in the IX Triennale, presenting -in the lighting section curated by Achille, Livio and Pier Giacomo Castiglioni - a Luminator designed by Franco Buzzi. The company immediately gains visibility on the international scene thanks to Domus magazine. Great success is then reaffirmed by Tito Agnoli with nominations for the second edition of the Compasso d'Oro, in 1955, for his two lamps (the 363 floor lamp and a particular model of bookcase). In 1956 these were followed in quick succession by two more nominations: one for a table lamp made of polyvinyl slats and another for a hanging lamp (mod. 4461) with a double perspex shade. Notable then is lamp 255/387 (called "Agnoli"), a spotlight supported by a slender stem, which in 1954 marks the decline of lampshades and the adoption of highly simplified floor lamps even for domestic lighting.
