Profiterole floor/table lamp by Sergio Asti for “Martinelli Luce”

About the Item

Sergio Asti for “Martinelli Luce”, “Profiterole” floor or table lamp. Italy 1968. The Profiterole lamp, designed by Italian designer Sergio Asti (1926-2021) for Martinelli Luce, beautifully combines functionality with artistic expression. Inspired by the delicious round pastries filled with cream, this lamp blends practical lighting with objet d’art. Its three-dimensional form, crafted primarily from fiberglass, features an embossed ‘blown-up’ surface, creating a visually striking piece. The lamp is further accentuated by a black plastic ring which connects its two components. Through its inventive use of materials and whimsical, biomorphic design, the Profiterole lamp is a true reflection of the artistic style of the Pop Art era.
