This pair of wall lamps, model Olga, was produced by Oluce in Italy in 1986. This Vico Magistretti design presents a black lacquered half-dome with a precise central aperture that reveals the light source. The composition is at once minimal and sculptural, achieving a strong architectural presence despite its compact size.
This particular set is preserved in New Old Stock condition, unused, and accompanied by its original packaging and dated guarantee papers (28 August 1986). Such provenance is exceedingly rare and distinguishes this pair from standard vintage examples.
