Oluce
The Oluce StoryFounded by Guiseppe Ostuni in 1945, Oluce is one of the oldest Italian lighting companies specializing in iconic contemporary lighting for the home and office. While Oluce lighting has its roots in traditional Murano glass blowing techniques, things changed in the mid-1950s when Oluce moved in a more industrial-minded direction, resulting in highly contemporary designs with an edgy and dramatic flair. With over 70 years of experience, Oluce has helped pave the way for other lighting brands with years of research and innovative production methods under their belt. This has resulted in a level of international recognition that has attracted world-renowned designers to contribute to their collection of lamps, including Joe and Gianni Colombo, Vico Magistretti and others.
