The Oluce Atollo lamp is the brainchild of Italian industrial designer and architect Vico Magistretti. Born in Milan to a family of architects, he was introduced to the world of design and architecture from a young age. Magistretti is widely noted as one of the founding fathers of Italian design; his work ranging from furniture design to architecture was both experiential and simplistic in form.
The designer stuck to a strict design philosophy, noting that there was no excuse for bad design. He had a penchant for streamlining his designs with geometric combinations, and once said “I love geometric shapes. I love to make essential things that look like nothing.”
