Elio Martinelli -Foglia- rare transparant red- Martinelli Luce- Italy

About the Item

One of the most celebrated creations of Elio Martinelli is the Foglia Lamp, designed in 1969. This piece in transparant deep red is very rare. The name "Foglia," meaning "leaf" in Italian, reflects the lamp’s organic and nature-inspired shape. The lamp’s minimalist design showcases Martinelli’s commitment to clean lines and simplicity while retaining a sculptural elegance that makes it a standout piece in any setting. It's really breathtaking and still very funky! The Foglia Lamp features a gently curved shade that resembles a leaf, with a smooth and fluid form. Made primarily from acrylic, the lamp reflects the innovative use of materials that characterized Martinelli’s designs during that era. The choice of materials was not only practical—ensuring durability and ease of production—but also contributed to the soft, diffused light emitted by the lamp, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. This one spreads it's warmth into it's surroundings.
