Zanuso 275 by OLUCE was designed in the mid-sixties by Italian architect and designer Marco Zanuso, and was conceived as a desk lamp, rather than an operational lamp. That is the reason behind the large methacrylate dome supported by a curved arm. Zanuso was without doubt one of the protagonists of the ‘long century’ that led Italy from the destruction of the war to absolute pre-eminence in design. Several types of products were revolutionised by the intervention of Zanuso. Today, the 275 is seeing light again, so to speak, represented in a philological way thanks to collaboration with Zanuso’s heirs. Iconic in design the primary role is to bring light.
The message is identical to that of the original, but loaded with an additional component: memory, and nostalgia, for a unique character on the stage of world design.
