OCEANIC

A tame sea monster, or a set of fishing rods that intersect with colorful geometric forms, Oceanic has undoubtedly been created to light unconventional interiors.

A striking table lamp made in metal tubing decorated with multicolored paint, Oceanic combines a black and white striped motif with delicate shades of pink and orange. It is built with a rectangular pink metal base, from which three striped cylinders rise. The largest of the three is topped by a yellow rectangular diffuser, the central tube offers a switch, and the third has a sort of cable.

Designed by Michele De Lucchi, the Oceanic lamp, a mysterious stylized creature, has become one of the most famous icons of the Memphis group thanks to its original design.

Michele De Lucchi is an Italian designer and architect. In 1975, he graduated in Architecture from the University of Florence, where from 1975 to 1977 he worked as an assistant to Adolfo Natalini, founder of Superstudio. Between the late 1970s and the 1980s, he was a leading figure in Radical Architecture and participated in the most important Italian design movements of the time. He was a co-founder of Memphis, with which he collaborated from 1981 to 1987. De Lucchi's numerous award-winning projects are created in collaboration with renowned Italian and international furniture brands. In 1990, he founded Produzione Privata with the aim of combining an experimental approach with traditional artisanal techniques and processes. He has curated numerous art and design exhibitions and designed museum buildings such as the Triennale di Milano, the Palazzo delle Esposizioni in Rome, and the Neues Museum in Berlin.
