Arredoluce

1947 —

Arredoluce is an Italian lighting company founded in 1947 by Angelo Lelii in Monza, near Milan. Lelii began crafting lamps as early as 1943 in his family workshop before officially establishing the company. Arredoluce quickly distinguished itself by combining traditional craftsmanship with advanced technology, including the use of high-precision Swiss machinery. The company focused on creating lighting fixtures that balanced elegant design, quality materials, and meticulous workmanship.

Over the following decades, Arredoluce collaborated with several renowned Italian designers, which brought a wide range of styles to its collection, from classic to avant-garde. This creative energy allowed the company to participate regularly in major events like the Milan Triennale, where it showcased its latest designs between 1947 and 1960. Despite its sustained success, Arredoluce ceased operations in the 1990s, partly due to market changes and shifts within the industrial design sector. However, the originality and quality of its pieces continue to attract collectors and design enthusiasts.

Today, Arredoluce lamps are highly sought-after collectibles, with rare and well-preserved models fetching significant sums at auctions. In 2024, a Milan exhibition highlighted the brand’s lasting impact on Italian design, celebrating its legacy. For those interested in deeper knowledge, a comprehensive catalog published in 2018 documents Arredoluce’s production from 1943 to 1987, featuring detailed illustrations and information about its collaborations and creations.
