Description

Coup originated in 1967 from the creative intuition of Joe Colombo, who initially designed it as a variation on a lamp already in the companys collection, the Spider, retaining its base and stem. Starting from these bold, simple features the base, the stem, and the adjustable cover serving as a shade the designer created one of Oluces best-known families. This year, having offered the Coup in a variety of different models and finishes over the years, Oluce is expanding the family with the introduction of Mini Coup, a smaller scale version of the table lamp, available in a stunning new contemporary range of colours. At 34 cm in height and in brand new colours, the Mini Coup wittily maintains all the vigour common to Joe Colombos designs of the 60s, a time when design aimed to fulfil a function while also making an aesthetic statement, when experimentation with new materials, use of colour, movement, and the desire to break new ground were the guiding lights of his creations. The Mini Coup, with its chrome stem and semi-cylindrical shade, retains the distinctive profile and bold character that define the Coup collection and which have always made it an exceptionally modern lighting range, now even more complete.

As a testament to its international success, it won the International Design Award from the American Institute of Interior Designers in Chicago the year after its creation and is included in the permanent collection of both the MoMA in New York and the Neue Sammlung Museum in Munich.
