The essential roundness that defies time
This lamp is an excellent example of lighting design which is influenced by nature and is an outstanding design of the 20th century.
The swivel arm uncoils from the central base to rise up and support the domed shade that provided diffused illumination.
It casts beautiful, diffused light from its swiveling upper arm with white opal methacrylate diffuser and there is a metal lacquered structure which is available in white or golden colour.
he main character is the sphere. While some smaller spheres are extras, they are significant enough to inspire technological research that ultimately led to Serpente's undermining.
The ability of the sinuous geometric shapes of this lamp to evoke harmony and elegance defines its beauty, indulgent shapes that captivate the eye and pique the sense of aesthetics.
Table lamp with diffused light, swilling upper arm, white opal methacrylate diffuser.
Arm and base in painted metal.

Elio Martinelli
Elio Martinelli was born on 19 November 1922, the only son of Plinio and his wife Emilia, one of Lucca's best-known milliners, who probably passed on the artistic vein to him. After spending his childhood and adolescence in Lucca with the friends who would eventually become his lifelong friends, he pursued set design studies in Florence, where he eventually graduated. Elio discovered that his interests were different, being more creative than strictly technical, after taking over the family firm following the tragic death of his father Plinio.
