Martinelli Luce is a well-known Italian company in the field of lighting, founded in Lucca in the 1950s by Elio Martinelli.
Elio Martinelli initially dedicated himself to interior design and the organization of fittings for shops, restaurants, hotels and bars; later, however, he decides to concentrate solely on the design of lighting fixtures: the first catalog comes out. Elio Martinelli is known both in Italy and abroad and collaborates with important designers in the sector, managing to win prizes and obtain recognition.
Passion, meticulous work and the will to keep up with the times have contributed to making the brand a point of reference for those who work in the sector, both nationally and internationally.
All Martinelli products are inspired by nature and the essentiality of geometric shapes, making them unique and inimitable. Furthermore, Martinelli Luce has always based its company policy on three fundamental values: innovation, essentiality and new points of view.
Emiliana Martinelli, who currently directs the company together with her son Marco, carries on the same principles as her father, to guarantee the company a significant position among the industries in the sector.
Lighting plays a strategic role in home furnishings, it is important to know how to take advantage of all the light points. The right light, in fact, can change the atmosphere, the perception of space, enhance the furniture, etc. When we talk about light we do not only mean the light source but also the object that generates it, that is the lamps that are distinguished as: table, floor, suspension and wall lamps. For this reason, Martinelli Luce uses the best raw materials and uses experts in the sector to meet the needs of its customers.
The prestige of the company is also and above all given by the contribution of its collaborators, or well-known designers on a national and international scale.
We obviously remember Elio Martinelli (founding father of the company) and his daughter Emiliana Martinelli, who with their creative and innovative spirit have created an empire in the lighting sector. But not only that, the company also collaborates with other designers, such as: Karim Raschid (award-winning designer on a global scale; his main goal is to spread the importance of design in everyday life. His works are exhibited in the most important museums such as the MoMA and the Center Pompidou), Gae Aulenti (he has designed important exhibitions and fittings at the Musée d'Orsay, the Guggenheim, the Center Pompidou and much more), Massimo Farinatti (best known for his works on interior architecture and industrial design), Paola Navone (architect, designer, art director, interior designer), Marc Sadler (pioneer of experimentation with materials and contamination between technologies), Alfonso Femia (visiting professor in the main Italian and international universities and award-winning designer in Italy and abroad) and many more…
Martinelli Luce collaborates with professionals already established in the sector but also with young talents to combine rigor, experience and creativity (a distinctive feature of the younger generations).
Table lamps aren’t only light generators, but they are also furnishing accessories. In fact, they present themselves as design objects that can customize the environment even when they are off. On the cabinet next to the sofa, on the entrance furniture, on the desk or bedside table, they always give that extra touch to the decor. Consequently, design and attention to detail are fundamental in the creation of this piece of furniture.
Examples of design table lamps are: Pipistrello made by Gae Aulenti - Cobra by Elio Martinelli - Cyborg by Karim Raschid.
Like table lamps, floor lamps also have the dual function of illuminating and furnishing. Design floor lamps can be the absolute protagonists of lighting, their variety always guarantees a solution depending on the environment in which it is placed and they are perfect for enlarging small spaces and to offer warmth to largest rooms. They always represent a good solution for general lighting or to provide additional lighting in any space; in fact, if combined with wall lamps or chandeliers they can give a complementary light by offering an additional light point to the walls.
Among the various models of modern floor lamps we find: Biconica Pol by Emiliana Martinelli - Serpente made by Elio Martinelli - Pont by Marc Sadler
Whether it's the kitchen, the bedroom or the living room, pendant lamps are essential elements to give style and elegance to the home. Versatile and made in countless shapes, pendant lamps have evolved and become much more than just an object to illuminate environments. They illuminate the environment from above, making it warm and welcoming.
Some models of suspension lamps are: Lunaop and Calabronet by Eliana Martinelli - Kiki made by Paola Navone.
Wall lamps are distinguished above all by the fact that they don’t have a support base, as, as the name suggests, they are fixed to a wall. This aspect makes them particularly appreciated in environments with limited dimensions, where even the smallest footprint can be a problem.
All modern wall lamps have an arm to which the lamp holder is connected, a hook for fixing to the wall and of course a lampshade.
Among the various proposals for design wall lamps we find: Tube by Elio Martinelli - Black Light created by Marc Sadler - Geko by Alfonso Femia.
