Designed by Vico Magistretti, the Oluce Atollo table lamp is seen as an elegant classic. Here, we explore the history and appeal of this sleek lighting piece.
A cone, a cylinder, and a dome: the Oluce Atollo lamp might be one of the most revolutionary lighting designs in history, but its structure consists of surprisingly simple geometric forms. Yet, the contemporary composition lends the lamp a timeless silhouette with an enduring appeal.
Owing to its versatility, the lamp can be found nearly everywhere—study rooms, cosy nooks, and coffee tables. Rapper G-Eazy opted to decorate his sideboard in his dining area with a glossy, black piece, while local fashion maven Willabelle Ong flaunts hers in her living room. In Singapore, the Oluce Atollo lamp available at P5 Studio.

Often hailed as an icon of Italian design, the Atollo lamp lights up a room with its bold and decorative silhouette. The structure of this table lamp is often marveled at; the dome is expertly engineered to connect to the top of the cone so that it seemingly hovers above the fixture on its own.
The masterful arrangement and skilled construction created an easily recognisable design. Quietly charming, the lamp emits soft, diffused light.
