Lyndon is a project by vico magistretti created in 1977 and developed over the years into a wide range that includes many variations and sizes: for both indoor and outdoor use as well as suspension, floor or wall lamps. The candelabra-style body with chromed-plate or satin gold finish, typical of the family of lamps designed by magistretti, can, from time to time be bent according to the required use of the lamp, extending to enclose the transparent glass spheres, inside which the light bulb is hosted. The architect and designer’s love for simple, geometric shapes masterfully makes a comeback, returning lost time and the atmospheres experienced in a large capital city at the end of the 19th century to contemporary times in an object that is more relevant than ever. Materials and color: metal transparent glass chromium-plated variations: available in satin gold. Dimensions: d 90 cm x w 90 cm x h 135 cm / 206 cm technical information: 4 x max 100w (e27) founded in 1945, oluce is the oldest italian design company in the lighting sector still in operation today. Oluce lighting’s design aesthetic is crisp, linear, and decorative. A subtle, intellectual beauty that over the years has led the company to produce some of the more recognizable and admired iconic lighting in the world. Oluce, already participating at the 9th triennale in milan, throughout its long history, has received numerous acknowledgements including two golden compass awards, two design awards and the gold medal at the 13th triennale in milan. Its lamps appear in the most important permanent design collections worldwide. Oluce’s expertise reveals its unparalleled manufacturing excellence which transforms into objects an untiring technological research into the potential of light. Each lamp is a milestone along this journey. Over time, from unusual materials, original designs and new lighting sources ensued revolutionary iconic designs by tito agnoli, joe colombo, marco zanuso, ostuni e forti, and vico magistretti, who since the 1950s, have been rewriting the history of lighting.
