1950s Giuseppe Ostuni 'Ochetta' red & brass wall or table lamp for O-Luce. An extremely rare and surprisingly utilitarian design executed in red painted metal and brass by one of the most refined Italian designers of the midcentury. A highly adaptable light, the legs of the lamp can be slide up or down for easy adjustability, while the shade rotates freely on Ostuni's patented ball joint system.
Price is per item. 2 lamps available. A pair in white is also available in a separate listing.
O-Luce was one of the most innovative lighting design companies in Italy during the midcentury era. Their exceptionally refined designs have been long sought after by collectors in the know.
Literature "Giuseppe Ostuni: O-Luce," 2015; Luminaires-Moderniste; Apparecci Per Illuminazione, pp. 44-46 + A. Koch, "Modern Lighting," 1953; pp. 29-30
