Founded in 1945 by Giuseppe Ostuni, Oluce is one of the oldest Italian lighting design companies still in operation, blending over seven decades of craftsmanship, innovation, and timeless style. The brand's journey began with early recognition at the IX Triennale di Milano in 1951 and has since been defined by collaborations with legendary designers like Joe Colombo, Vico Magistretti, Tito Agnoli, and Marco Zanuso. Oluce's iconic creations, such as the Atollo Lamp, the Coupé Collection and the Spider Floor Lamp, have not only won prestigious awards, including the Compasso d’Oro, but have also become fixtures in the permanent collections of museums across the globe, such as the MoMA in New York.
Oluce’s designs transcend trends, achieving a rare balance of tradition and modernity. Under the Verderi family’s leadership in the 1970s, and with Vico Magistretti as art director, the brand evolved to embrace new materials, technologies, and forms while still maintaining its signature aesthetic. Contemporary designers such as Nendo, Victor Vasilev, and Giopato & Coombes continue to expand the company’s legacy even to this day, ensuring Oluce remains at the forefront of global design while honouring its heritage.
Every Oluce lighting solution reflects a commitment to exceptional craftsmanship, using high-quality materials such as porcelain, marble, and textured metals alongside cutting-edge technology. With its Bespoke Tailoring service, Oluce offers tailored lighting solutions for contract projects, further cementing its reputation for adaptability and innovation. Decades of timeless design and storytelling have established Oluce as a beacon of Italian design excellence, illuminating spaces with enduring sophistication and exceptional illumination.
