Floor lamp with murano glass diffuser and brushed metal base.manufactured by oluce, italy. The geometries chosen by stefano casciani when designing the lu-lu lamp are primitive, light, pure ones, yet the simplification of the shape, in reality, conceals a complex core from a manufacturing and lighting technology point of view. The double mould used for blowing the glass encloses differentiated optics and switches, regulated by universal touch dimmer switches. Therefore, lu-lu can also be illuminated entirely or only in part, either lighting only the upper or the lower lamp area. In its floor lamp version, the blown glass lampshade is supported by a slender chrome-plated metal structure, while in its table version, the height of the structure is reduced to a minimum, keeping the glass slightly suspended over the bearing plane. Materials and color: murano glass brushed metal chromium-plated metal dimensions: d 25 cm x w 25 cm x h 173 cm technical information: 1 x max 100 w (e27) + 1 x max 60 w (e27) - universal dimmer founded in 1945, oluce is the oldest italian design company in the lighting sector still in operation today. Oluce lighting design aesthetic is crisp, linear, and decorative. A subtle, intellectual beauty that over the years has led the company to produce some of the more recognizable and admired iconic lighting in the world. Oluce, already participating at the 9th triennale in milan, throughout its long history, has received numerous acknowledgements including two golden compass awards, two design awards and the gold medal at the 13th triennale in milan. Its lamps appear in the most important permanent design collections worldwide. Oluce’s expertise reveals its unparalleled manufacturing excellence which transforms into objects an untiring technological research into the potential of light. Each lamp is a milestone along this journey. Over time, from unusual materials, original designs and new lighting sources ensued revolutionary iconic designs by tito agnoli, joe colombo, marco zanuso, ostuni e forti, and vico magistretti, who since the 50s, have been rewriting the history of lighting. Recent collections reaffirm oluce design and decorative approach, expressed through the signs by italian and international designers such as angeletti & ruzza, francesco rota, nendo, victor vasilev, nicola gallizia, christophe pillet, mist-o and david lopez quincoces. this piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker.
