Vintage Original Italian Cobra Table Lamp by Elio Martinelli for Martinelli Luce

About the Item

Iconic molded resin "Cobra" Lamp model "629" designed by Elio Martinelli for Martinelli Luce in 1968. Scarcely seen, early example (the newer productions available vary slightly) displaying a modest design with clean lines contained within a compact sphere structure. Though, a central joint/spine connecting the shade to the steel, weighted base allows the shade to be fully rotated 360° in either direction, transforming this seemingly simple form into a dramatic serpentine sculpture. Highly functional, allowing the light source to move smoothly and easily, covering a vast area. Excellent, vintage condition with one scuff to the base and very minimal, light wear. Includes the original aluminum interior reflector and molded plastic base indicating the maker. Takes an E27 bulb. Retains the original Italian plug, which will be changed for US use, unless otherwise requested. H: 16" x L: 16" x D: 15.75" Length fully extended: 29"
