Martinelli Luce

Martinelli Luce is an Italian lighting manufacturer, specialising in technological and modular solutions. The company was founded in 1950 by Elio Martinelli who, for years leading up to this period, had been creating lamps for theatre sets. These lamps boasted scenic forms that interacted with the theatrical action, his designs were technical-decorative: they linked to the set design and integrated with the stage project. It was Giò Ponti who noticed the high quality of his work, pushing him to sell them. Eventually, within a basement called "laboratory", Martinelli Luce was born.

The company loves the beauty of nature and geometric shapes, weaving the themes into their designs, they collaborate with a range of unique designers and have now been producing lighting solutions for over 70 years. Their focus on creative innovation has earned them various awards throughout this time, including the IF Product Design Award, the Good Design Award, the Red Dot Design Award and even a Compasso d'Oro.
