Key Features
The Sonora PMMA Pendant by Oluce narrates an inspired tale of geometric perfection, the hemisphere shape, a quest pursued by Vico Magistretti for nearly three decades. Originating in 1976 with Magistretti's turned aluminum original, this piece has evolved to incorporate PMMA (methacrylate) instead of metal. Revered globally and never surpassed, it remains one of the most sought-after designs, illuminating and defining entire spaces with its intrinsic charm. Hand-applied gold leaf sheets further enhance its allure, embodying a contemporary aesthetic that transcends time, standing as a testament to Italian craftsmanship and innovation.
Founded in 1945 by Giuseppe Ostuni, Oluce is one of the oldest Italian design companies that produces an extensive line of contemporary lighting for the home and office. With over 70 years of experience, Oluce has helped pave the way for other lighting brands, especially with regards to research and production methods. This has resulted in a level of international recognition that has attracted world-renowned designers to contribute to their collection of lamps, including Joe and Gianni Colombo, Vico Magistretti and others.

Compare Brightness:
Lumens
The amount of light that comes from a bulb, which has commonly been measured in watts. The more lumens, the brighter the bulb.Wattage
A measurement of the power delivered to a component of an electric circuit (allowing a one-ampere current to flow through the component under the pressure of 1 volt.)Bulb Shape
Bulb shapes are denoted with a letter, which describes the shape, and a number, which indicates the size. The number indicates the diameter of the light bulb at its widest part in eighths of an inch.Base
The part of the bulb that connects to the fixture and its power supply. Bulb bases are denoted with the letter E, and a number which indicates the diameter of the bulb base at its widest part in millimeters.Voltage
Indicates how much voltage a bulb can accept via the fixture it's installed in.Light Color Temperature
The relative color from a light source, measured on the Kelvin temperature scale. Warm light is lower in color temperature (2700-3000 K) and cool, blue light is higher (5000 K).Average Rated Life
The average amount time that a bulb is expected to last.CRI
CRI = color rendering index. This number, which can go from 0 to 100, measures the ability of a light or bulb accurately renders colors. The higher the number, the better, with most quality bulbs these days measuring at least in the 80s.Manufacturer IDs: view
