Serpente model 2131 Floor Lamp by Elio Martinelli for Martinelli Luce

Elio martinelli - martinelli luce serpente model 2131 floor lamp in perfect condition. The martinelli luce serpente is an undisputed icon in the world of designer lighting. The design was created more than 50 years ago and is still admired by design lighting enthusiasts. It is more than just a light object, it is also a work of art in itself. The geometric shape of the foot, arm and hood has a mythical status in the world of design. This iconic italian design is therefore rightly included in the permanent collection of the metropolitan museum of art in new york. Very special, and certainly revolutionary in 1965, is the swiveling upper arm of the lamp. This allows the upper arm to be rotated 360 degrees, so that the lamp has an enormous reach in the room where it is located without having to be moved. At least as striking is the shape and technique of the hood, which ensures the distribution of a beautiful diffused light. Elio martinelli started the martinelli luce company in 1950 because he wanted to produce and sell the lighting he designed himself. The company started as a shop in lucca, italy, which grew into a global company. Designer: elio martinelli. Manufacturer: martinelli luce. Model: serpente. Country of origin: italy. Year: 1965.
