About the Collection Oluce Spider


The collection Spider by Oluce was designed in 1965 by Joe Colombo and ranks as a modern light fixture classic, characterized by a functional construction, a flexible adjustability and the charm of the used Cornalux lamp. Spider was awarded with the Compasso d'Oro.

The floor and table lamp Spider follows a minimalist design principle and has a clear formal language. The brick-shaped light head is height-adjustable along the vertical metallic stem. It can also swivel and tilt to the side. The metallic body is open below and has an aperture on top, through which the lamp's glass bulb is visible.

This is a further characteristic of the Spider table and floor lamps: the classic Spider light receives a special lamp: a Cornalux incandescent lamp with B22 base. The special feature of this lamp was the bulb's shape which owed it the nickname "Hammerhead", and the fact that half of the glass was matt, and the other half was clear.

In 2014, Oluce reacted to the increasing demand for energy efficient light fixtures and lamps, and developped a replacement for the Cornalux incandescent lamps. Today Spider is delivered with an adapter, with the aid of which it is possible to put a standard G9 lamp in the B22 base. Besides, the adapter is equipped with a Pyrexglas diffuser which imitates the original lamp's iconic shape. In this way, Spider can be operated with even more energy efficient lamps with long life-span - halogen or LED lamps -, without adulterating the light fixture's appearance or lighting effect. The Hammerhead adapter can be ordered singly as a replacement part to equip older Spider models.

Spider is a remarkable designer object which provides stylish reading light on desks or sideboards, in the reading nook in the living room or bedroom.
