An exceptional design that transcends generations
Vico Magistretti (1920–2006) conceived Atollo as a quest for formal perfection.

Atollo reflects the great Italian designer’s fascination with bold, majestically balanced geometric forms. The large lampshade appears to float above the conical base. The simple, well-proportioned forms are highlighted by the light, which creates a play of light and shadow.
Atollo is characterized by a pursuit of simplicity. Entirely crafted from Aluminium, it is devoid of any details or technical features: the quintessence of design according to Magistretti, for whom refinement is embodied in the transparency of lines. The piece thus becomes an essential embodiment of purity, a model of enduring validity.
