About the Item

Modern Elio Martinelli for Martinelli Luce Moon Dome Metal Pendant Lamp, Italy, 1980 A rare and striking piece of Italian design, this Moon Dome pendant lamp was created by Elio Martinelli for Martinelli Luce in the 1980s. With its sculptural presence and elegant proportions, it reflects the refined minimalism and futuristic aesthetic of late 20th-century Italian modernism. The lamp features a large, glossy white metal dome measuring 75 cm (29.53 inches) in diameter, suspended from a black cord with an adjustable spherical counterweight. A distinctive U-shaped internal frame encircles the light source, both supporting the bulb and subtly diffusing the light for a warm, ambient glow. This clever design creates a floating effect, enhancing the lamp’s clean lines and celestial inspiration. Standing 110 cm (43.31 inches) in height, the piece makes a striking focal point over dining tables, in entryways, or anchoring living spaces with its timeless appeal. The upper and lower circular elements contribute to the sense of balance and orbital symmetry, reinforcing its name and visual allure. Designed by Elio Martinelli—founder of Martinelli Luce and a visionary in lighting design—this lamp exemplifies his signature blend of technical ingenuity and sculptural form. It remains a highly collectible and iconic work of Italian modern lighting. This lamp is in excellent vintage condition with only minor signs of age-appropriate wear. It has been professionally checked by our certified electrician and is in very good working order, ready for immediate installation and enjoyment. A true collector’s item, this Moon Dome pendant offers functional elegance and artistic design, making it a refined addition to both contemporary and mid-century-inspired interiors.
