Oluce Zanuso Table Lamp
In 1963, Marco Zanuso designed the model 275 table lamp for Oluce with its large adjustable rotary Perspex diffuser, fastened to a lacquered metal base. Subsequently renamed Zanuso, the 275 lamp was originally conceived for use as a desk lamp. However, its purpose was not intended as an operational lamp, but rather to illuminate a table in an environment that is not necessarily an office. In fact, its iconic shape finds use not only on desks, but generally on any bearing plane, its primary role being to light a portion of a room.

Marco Zanuso
Architect, designer and university lecturer, Marco Zanuso (1916-2001) was one of the leading interpreters of the Modern Movement. Trained at the Polytechnic University of Milan and, in the immediate post-war years, co-editor of the Domus magazine with Ernesto N. Rogers, he was awarded the Medaglia d'oro and the Gran Premio at the Milan Triennale on a number of occasions (VIII, IX, X, XI and XIII editions), and won five Compassi d’Oro between 1956 and 1985. Zanuso was one of the first designers in Italy to take an interest in the problems of product industrialization, going beyond aesthetic issues to incorporate technological, industrial, distribution and communication variables. According to Zanuso, the form of an object destined for serial reproduction is an amalgam of opportunities, experimentation and innovation in the concrete process that connects creativity, production and the social and cultural context. “Through my projects I want to give form to what I call complexity”, Marco Zanuso.
The evocative force of lighting is as important as its functional potential, capable of translating ideas and intuition into articles. With over 70 years of experience in the field of illumination, Oluce can count on a solid background of technical and lighting engineering skills, in addition to a style that has become a true signature trademark.
Unusual materials, unexpected shapes and new lighting sources have, over time, led to revolutionary designs by Tito Agnoli, Joe Colombo, Marco Zanuso and Vico Magistretti, who since the fifties have rewritten the history of lighting.
Today, the company’s expertise shines through in its use of fine, experimental materials—stone, marble, galvanised metals and textured coatings—all carefully and competently treated by Oluce. This is accompanied by continual technological research that guarantees the use of cutting-edge light sources and processes. Blazing the trail for limitless experimentation into aesthetics and function, this confirms the elective relationship Oluce enjoys with the world of design.
