Vico Magistretti for Oluce “Lyndon 450” – Original from the 1970s
An impressive, large-scale designer light fixture featuring an elegant metal structure and four transparent glass globes. With a diameter of approximately 90 cm, this striking piece makes a sophisticated statement above a dining table or in a spacious living area.
The Lyndon series was created during a period in which Vico Magistretti reinterpreted historical forms with remarkable clarity and simplicity. Inspired by traditional chandeliers, he stripped away their decorative ornamentation, reducing them to an elegant, architectural composition of metal and glass.
The result is an exceptional lighting design that beautifully combines classical elegance with modern minimalism.
The light fixture offered here is an authentic original from the 1970s, not a later reproduction or reissue from the more recently relaunched Lyndon collection.
Early examples such as this have become increasingly rare and are particularly sought after by collectors of iconic Italian design.
They embody the authentic spirit of late 1970s design and reflect the exceptional craftsmanship and manufacturing quality for which Oluce was renowned during this period.
Adjustable Height
An additional practical feature of this chandelier is its modular construction. The central suspension rod consists of three separate sections, allowing the middle section to be removed to reduce the overall height of the lamp.
This makes it possible to adapt the chandelier to rooms with lower ceilings while maintaining its elegant proportions and distinctive design.
