Acrilica 281, 1962

Acrilica 281 table light by Joe Colombo for Oluce.

Designed in 1962 by Joe Colombo, the Acrilica 281 table light is ‘more a work of kinetic art than a lamp’. The significant curve is made from acrylic and its thickness and curve meant that due to its conduction properties, the light from a fluorescent lamp contained within the painted steel base moves through the transparent body, eventually lighting the head in an incredible way.

The table lamp gives indirect and diffused light.
