About the Item

La Bolla is a stunning wall or ceiling light designed by Italian designer Elio Martinelli for Martinelli Luce in the 1960s.

The material is lightweight and durable, and it creates a diffused light that is warm and inviting. La Bolla has become an icon of Italian design, and it is included in the permanent collections of several museums around the world, including the Museum of Modern Art in New York and the Victoria and Albert Museum in London. Overall, La Bolla is a timeless piece of design that combines elegance, simplicity, and functionality.
