The Bul-Bo lamp belongs to the series of furnishings designed for the Olivetti Residential Center in Ivrea (Turin) by the Gabetti and Isola architecture studio (Roberto Gabetti, Aimaro Isola, Guido Drocco, Luciano Re) between 1968 and 1971. The context in which the designers worked was the one still strongly influenced by the enlightened mind of Adriano Olivetti, who died a few years earlier.
With the creation of Bul-Bo, a playful, ironic and functional lamp was born, in perfect adherence to that climate of "rebellion against the schemes" which, in the second half of the 1960s, would leave an indelible mark on the costumes. 50 years later, Axolight re-proposes this iconic lighting object by introducing contemporary elements in philological respect for the original design.
