Known for its innovative productions, the quality of craftsmen as well as the creativity of designers, Arredoluce is revolutionizing the luminaire. It was in 1947, at the VIII Triennale de Milan, that he exhibited the lamp 12128 and became the lamdary of the Triennale. He will then be considered an influential designer in post-war Italy, in particular in the field of lighting modern. During the 1950s, Arredoluce began to collaborate with designers such as Franco Albini, Achille Castiglioni, Gio Ponti,
Ettore Sottsass and to experiment with halogen bulbs for its creations. From this experiment, Lelli increases the use of transformers for its conceptions and created the famous Arredoluce switch. If the company had to close in the 1990s, the art market still shows today that the name and essence of Arredoluce are perpetuated and the company still arouses life.
