Bolla 50 wall lamp by Elio Martinelli for Martinelli Luce - Italy - 60-70's
About the Item
Diffused ceiling or wall lamp made of opal white methacrylate diffuser. Four corners in brushed aluminum and white lacquered back plate.
La Bolla is iconic for Martinelli’s design in the 1960s. Elegant and minimalist design, language that is Martinelli's trademark. Rotating supports for fixing the diffuser in anodized aluminum.
A bubble of light appears to come out of the ceiling. It seems to see a thin material that becomes heavy with its contents and that could give way, if it were not supported by 4 spacers placed at the four corners of the base.
Martinelli Luce was born in 1950 in Lucca, Tuscany, thanks to the genius and commitment of Elio Martinelli, one of the most important designers of the 60s and 70s, specialized in the field of lighting.
Elio Martinelli was born in Lucca on November 19, 1922. After a childhood and adolescence spent in Lucca, he began studying scenography in Florence where he graduated. He immediately began a collaboration with a Lucca company for which he took care of the interior design for public places. He began to design and produce on his own the lamps to be included in his projects. Thus was born the Martinelli Luce, in a basement where, with difficulty, the few tools necessary for a small production had been installed. It was with the first edition of the Eurodomus in Genoa in 1966 and the meeting with Giò Ponti that Elio Martinelli and his company acquired an international importance. In his professional life Elio Martinelli has designed many lamps and to make some of these he had to study new methacrylate molding techniques. We are in the 60s, an era of the emergence of innovative and revolutionary plastic materials and the most representative lamps of his production were made in plastic.
