L’histoire Fondée en 1945 par Giuseppe Ostuni, maître d’art, est, dans le domaine de l’éclairage, la plus ancienne société italienne de design encore en activité. En effet, avant la guerre mondiale, il n’y avait qu’Arteluce de Gino Sarfatti, une société qui a disparu à la fin des années 90. En 1948 Azucena et Lamperti virent le jour, puis, en 1950, Arredoluce et Stilnovo. Cependant, ce seront surtout Arteluce, Azucena et O luce qui joueront, pendant une longue période, les protagonistes sur la scène italienne. Ces sociétés représentèrent des points de rencontre pour ces architects qui, fortement...

Die Geschichte Die 1945 vom hervorragenden Meister Giuseppe Ostuni gegründete Firma O luce ist im Beleuchtungsbereich die älteste noch im Betrieb stehende Designfirma in Italien. Vor dem zweiten Weltkrieg bestand nämlich nur die Firma Arteluce von Gino Sarfatti, die am Ende der neunziger Jahre einging. 1948 würden dann Azucena und Lamperti und 1950 Arredoluce und Stilnovo gegründet. Es waren jedoch vor allem Arteluce, Azucena und O luce, welche während langen Jahren das italienische Panorama bestimmten und der Treffpunkt für jene Designer darstellten, welche, tief in den Wiederaufbau der ersten...

Marco Romanelli Come può configurarsi oggi un catalogo di lampade? Se il produttore è, come O luce, uno dei nomi storici del design italiano, un catalogo può vivere solamente così: nutrendosi della tradizione e dell’esperienza per procedere verso nuove definizioni. D’altronde il progetto italiano, quello migliore, si è sempre sviluppato secondo tale logica: costantemente teso a superare se stesso, costantemente supportato da una straordinaria organizzazione d’impresa, da un raffinato patrimonio tecnologico e soprattutto dall’indomita passione di ciascuno per il proprio lavoro. Se O luce, all’inizio...

What can a catalogue of lamps look like today? If the manufacturer, as is the case of O luce, is one of the historic names of Italian design, a catalogue can only live like this: nurtured on tradition and experience so as to move on towards new definitions. Moreover, Italian design, the best of it, has always developed along these lines, constantly endeavouring to surpass itself and constantly supported by an extraordinary business organisation, by a refined technological wealth and above all by each and every person’s unfailing passion for his work. In the early nineteen-sixties O luce had played...
