The Roman designer Oscar Torlasco was mostly known for his lamps that diffuse soft light through optical glass lenses, he established himself between the 1950s and the 1960s designing for several Italian companies specializing in lighting, such as Esperia, Stilux and Stilkronen. His most recognizable creations, such as the industrial-style lamps made of brass and lacquered metal with adjustable light beams, are produced by the Italian company Lumi, while Fabbrica Illuminazione Greco produces the Genova 4053 street lamp for Torlasco, with which he won the Compasso d’Oro in 1959.
