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.

Mid-century Vintage Red Dalù Table Lamp by Vico Magistretti for Artemide, 1960s
By Vico Magistretti, Artemide
Located in Warszawa, Mazowieckie
This rare table lamp was designed by Vico Magistretti for the Italian manufacture Artemide during the 1960s. The lamp is made of red plastic. Dalù is one of the best designs to reflect the strict style of the great artist, who placed beauty and everyday use on the same level. Vico Magistretti was born in Milan. He attended Parini High School before enrolled in the Regio Politecnico Faculty of Architecture in Milan in the fall of 1939. In 1943-1944 he moved to Switzerland, where he attended several academic courses at the Champ Universitarie Italien in Lausanne. It was then that he spent time with Ernesto Nathan Rogers, who had a key influence on his intellectual education. In 1945 he returned to Milan, where he graduated from the Faculty of Architecture at the Polytechnic University. He immediately started working for his father's company, the architect Piergiulio Magistretti, in via Conservatorio. The 1950s were a very busy and fruitful period for the young architect, who came up with many innovative ideas and very quickly became one of the most outstanding representatives of the third generation. Over the next few years he worked as a designer as well as an architect, creating furniture and objects that will always be classics of contemporary production. It was then that he was awarded the Golden Compass for the Eclisse lamp...
