Description from the seller

A true piece of Italian design history: the famous Atollo table lamp, designed by Vico Magistretti in 1977 for Oluce and winner of the Compasso d'Oro Award in 1979.
This specific specimen is a very rare historic first edition in its largest version, made entirely in opal Perspex (PMMA). This variant was produced by Oluce only for a short period and finding an example on the market today, especially in this condition of preservation and in the larger format, represents an extraordinary and rare opportunity for collectors and lovers of mid-century Modern.
The item does not bear the adhesive graphic brand, but the absolute Oluce originality of the era is certified by an email from the Oluce company confirming its originality and it is recognizable by all the constructional and philological details, which clearly differentiate it from modern replicas:
• Original coeval cables and dimmer: The lamp retains its original power cable from the era, complete with the original light intensity regulator (varialuce) signed Relco, a historic Milanese brand leader in premium electrical components and a historic partner of Oluce. The dimmer is perfectly functioning and modulates the light impeccably.
The lamp is in excellent vintage condition, with minimal signs of wear.
price 1200 euros negotiable plus possible shipping.
