Joe Colombo‘s first project for Oluce, the 281 model, created in 1962, was immediately nicknamed “Acrilica” due to its subtlety and exceptional innovation in material and form.
The lamp if formed from methacrylate, a material used for about a decade prior in the field of lighting, yet never quite like this. It’s thickness and curve means that the light from a fluorescent lamp, contained within the painted steel base, bounces through the transparent body, eventually lighting the head in a unique and uniform way.
