About the Item

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.
