21.03.2012. 50 years of Colombo lamp in the world market
From the country of sun and sea, good wine, delicious food and rich history there comes the Colombo lamp, a design classic and an icon in the world of Italian lighting that is celebrating 50 years of existence in the market this year. In the year of 2012 the Italian brand O'Luce is celebrating 50 years of the Colombo lamp, named after the designer Joe Colombo, who contributed greatly to the development of design and the company itself, too.
The role of lighting in a space has since always been extremely important. The two-sided role of lighting fixtures that comprises the functionality and decorativeness is evident from all the novelties presented to the market, but the inspiration has been drawn from the pioneers of design, who changed the world of lighting. It is exactly such an inexhaustible source of inspiration, but also a leading path to all future generations represented in the Colombo lamp that came from the Italian factory O'Luce.
Colombo is the first Italian lamp with a halogen bulb that has been created as a reaction to the discovery of that new source of lighting. Colombo, or the „halogen light“ for home use, as they call it in O'Luce has seen the light of day in 1972 and it soon became an icon of design that is both functional and trendy at the same time.
Forty years later, as an ecologically responsible company, O'Luce adjusted the original lighting to new innovative and ecologically acceptable fluorescent sources that greatly contribute to energy-saving and brought to market a newer, ecological version of this design classic that is still distinguished by recognizable visual identity that saves energy and preserves the environment.
The lamp fits easily into every space, and special possibilities of adapting the light intensity allow you to create an intimate atmosphere of the living room or the ideal illumination for offices. The diffuser made of Plexiglas and the base made of black lacquered steel that the Colombo lamp is made of, represent the icon of Italian design recognizable throughout the world.
