Adjustable, arched Coupé floor lamp with semi-spherical stove lacquered aluminium reflector, chrome armature, and lacquered metal base. Designed by Joe Colombo and produced by Oluce, circa 1967. A sophisticated design that is complex to manufacture, the lamp features a grooved shaft with a bakelite handle for adjusting the height and pivoting the armature. The reflector is fitted with a joint to adjust its inclination. The base is rounded but straight at the back, for flush fitting against the wall, where it can rotate through 180 degrees, changing how a floor lamp functions as an element of space design.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCesare \"Joe\" Colombo was until 1949 educated at the \u003ca title=\"Accademia di Belle Arti di Brera\" class=\"mw-redirect\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Accademia_di_Belle_Arti_di_Brera\" aria-label=\"Visit a webpage about Accademia di Belle Arti di Brera\"\u003eAccademia di Belle Arti di Brera\u003c\/a\u003e, the academy of fine arts, in \u003ca title=\"Milan\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Milan\" aria-label=\"Visit a webpage about Milan\"\u003eMilano\u003c\/a\u003e as a painter and studied afterwards until 1954 \u003ca title=\"Architecture\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Architecture\" aria-label=\"Visit a webpage about Architecture\"\u003eArchitecture\u003c\/a\u003e at \u003ca title=\"Politecnico di Milano\" class=\"mw-redirect\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Politecnico_di_Milano\" aria-label=\"Visit a webpage about Politecnico di Milano\"\u003ePolitecnico di Milano\u003c\/a\u003e University.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 1951 he joined the \u003ci\u003eMovimento Nucleare\u003c\/i\u003e, founded by \u003ca title=\"Sergio Dangelo (page does not exist)\" class=\"new\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Sergio_Dangelo\" aria-label=\"Visit a webpage about Sergio Dangelo (page does not exist)\"\u003eSergio Dangelo\u003c\/a\u003e and \u003ca title=\"Enrico Baj\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Enrico_Baj\" aria-label=\"Visit a webpage about Enrico Baj\"\u003eEnrico Baj\u003c\/a\u003e.
