Description

The Martinelli Luce Serpente Floor Lamp, designed by Elio Martinelli in 1965, is a striking piece of contemporary design that adds a captivating touch to any interior. Its name, "Serpente", which is Italian for snake, refers to its coiled form, which becomes especially evident when the swiveling upper arm is rotated 180 degrees, giving the lamp a snake-like appearance.

What sets this lamp apart is its unique choice of materials. In addition to metal, it incorporates methyl acrylate in the swiveling arm and diffuser—an advanced material at the time. This use of methyl acrylate not only defined Martinelli’s design success but also became a hallmark of Italian design in the 1960s. The Serpente Floor Lamp captures the spirit of that era, offering a timeless design that still feels relevant today.

Don't miss out on this midcentury piece.
