Known as the agnoli standard lamp, this stunning piece is one of the earliest icons of modernist lighting, seamlessly combining form and function in an effortlessly refined silhouette. A pioneer of minimalist design, the 387 model remains one of the longest-standing pieces in the oluce catalog, showcasing agnoli’s visionary and essentialist approach to lighting. Its design is stripped down to its purest elements, proving that simplicity can be both timeless and poetic. A defining feature of this first edition is its solid italian travertine base, which exhibits a remarkable natural patina—adding warmth and material depth to the lamp’s sculptural presence. The adjustable height mechanism, secured by a functional metal screw, offers flexible use, while the slender nickel-plated brass stem bears elegant signs of age, a testament to the authenticity and historical value of the piece.
