Acrilica Table Lamp
Description
The Acrilica Table Lamp, also known as model 281, is an iconic design from Oluce, created by Joe Colombo and his brother Gianni in 1962. This lamp stands out for its innovative use of methacrylate (Perspex), which creates a striking curved structure that conducts light from the steel base to the lamp's top, giving the illusion that the light flows through the acrylic body. Its unique kinetic quality and indirect, diffused lighting make it not just a lamp but also a conversation piece.
