Founded in 1945, Oluce is the oldest Italian design company in the illumination sector still in operation today. The design qualities of the lamps make them icons that communicate across the generations to become an integral part of the homes they furnish.

Alongside the catalogue products is the Oluce experience in lighting technology and Made in Italy attentiveness, which in turn have given life to the Bespoke Tailoring, the special department dedicated to contract design.

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.

The contemporary nature of Oluce brings together the past, present and future, tying them together to form an evocative and designed collection, where geometry of forms is completed with unusual materials and precious finishes.

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. A vocation that has recently seen the creation of Bespoke Tailoring, a special section for contract, a dedicated “product customisation” service. In addition to the standard catalogue articles, this offers the option of tailor-made lamps for specific needs or customisable variants of products from existing collections.

Thanks to the variety of catalogue products and to the infinite possibilities of personalisation offered by the Bespoke Tailoring service, Oluce succeeds in masterfully characterising environments, locations and styles that are remotely different from each other. In this way, hotels, restaurants, offices, private homes, stores and public areas become both the protagonists as well the setting of a theatre of lights, shadows, atmospheres and suggestions.
