Oluce, the esteemed Milanese lighting company, continues its pursuit of innovation and design excellence. This year, the brand expands the color palette of its celebrated Colombo lamp series with a vibrant Scarlet Red variant. Known for its clean lines and advanced functionality, the series was originally conceived by visionary designer Joe Colombo and has been a defining feature of Oluce’s catalog for over four decades.
The collection now includes three versions: floor (626), wall (761), and ceiling (885). Previously available in black and anodic bronze, the new Scarlet Red finish adds a bold and modern touch, emphasizing the distinctive features of these lamps. Each design incorporates three essential elements, base, stem, and adjustable reflector.
A Visionary Design for Modern Living
Joe Colombo, renowned for his futuristic vision, introduced the Colombo lamp in 1970, a period that saw the rapid rise of halogen lighting technology. The Colombo lamp was among the first to integrate this innovation into domestic lighting. Its design, featuring a chrome stem, adjustable reflector, and streamlined base, embodies Colombo’s dedication to simplicity and practicality.
The Colombo lamps, available in floor, wall, and ceiling variations, are recognized for their modern design and remain some of Oluce’s most popular products. Over the years, their adaptability and timeless aesthetic have ensured their continued relevance in contemporary interiors.
As part of Oluce’s ongoing evolution, the Colombo series underwent a significant update in 2020 to celebrate its 50th anniversary. The integration of modern LED technology and a dimmer function ensures that these lamps meet the demands of contemporary living while preserving their original character.
Scarlet Red
The introduction of Scarlet Red breathes new life into the Colombo series, offering a dynamic alternative to the traditional finishes. This bold choice improves the lamp’s visual impact while maintaining its essential design principles. Whether placed in a minimalist setting or a more eclectic space, the Scarlet Red variant provides a striking central piece that complements various interior styles.
