Colombo 281 is Joe Colombo’s first proposal for Oluce, the only two-man project carried out in collaboration with his brother Gianni.
The model, created in 1962 and which was initially known as 281, was later called ''Acrilica'', referring to the main material of which this object is made of (acrylics) as well as the extraordinary use that was made of it in the 281 lamp design.
In fact, methacrylate has already been used for approximately a decade in the lighting sector, usually in thin cut or thermoformed sheets, while here it is used in an extremely particular way.
Thanks to its conduction properties, both the shape and the significant thickness of the curve of the 281 lamp make it possible for the light of the fluorescent light bulb inside the painted steel base to travel up the transparent lamp structure, illuminating its head.
In 1964, ''Acrilica'' won the gold medal at the 13th Triennale International Exhibition in Milan.
In 2022, on the occasion of the 60th anniversary, Acrilica is offered in a special version with a base in Portoro marble.
