AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Vico Magistretti for Oluce “Lyndon 450” – Original from the 1970s
Large-format design lamp with metal frame and four transparent glass spheres. Diameter about 90 cm. Very commanding presence over a dining table or in the living room.
The Lyndon series emerged during a phase in which Magistretti clearly reinterpreted historic forms. Inspired by classical chandeliers, he reduced their ornamentation to an elegant, architectural structure made of metal and glass. The result is a fixture that uniquely combines traditional elegance with modern sobriety.
Important:
The lamp offered here is an original from the 1970s—not a later reissue from the more recent Lyndon collection that has been brought back into production.
It is precisely the early versions that are today noticeably rarer and particularly valued by collectors of Italian design classics. They embody the authentic spirit of the late 1970s and stand for the high craftsmanship of that era’s Oluce production.
Vico Magistretti is one of the defining designers of postwar Italian design. His works are represented in international museums and are characterized by timeless elegance and constructive clarity. The Lyndon series is a beautiful example of his ability to translate classical typologies into a modern design language.

Seller's Story
Since we can remember we felt attracted to beauty and exceptional things. Aesthetic has always been more than something superficial for us. It was something magic going much deeper than the surface, creating positive feelings and energies.
Harmonies, sacred proportions, colors and materials combined with time, create their very special energies and are mostly things that hardly can be described but always can be felt.
To define beauty would be far to philosophical, but we think, if something touches you by the way it looks and gives you good energy at the same time, then it would define our personal definition of beauty.
And if beauty is something that has no other purpose than making you feel good just by the way it looks, then beauty is something we surely do not want to miss in our lives.
We thank existence for giving us all those unique materials and designs and all the talented designers and craftsmen for bringing their visions and abilities to life and sharing it, to bring us purpose combined with joy.
We are glad to have the platform Catawiki where we can share our passion for extraordinary and beautiful things with like-minded people.
