The vertical chromed metal structure is interrupted by a surprising joint in striped black rubber, a functional and aesthetic element that allows the light to be directed. Thanks to this joint, you can adjust the lamp to any position you want.
The lamp was born in a period of intense experimentation for Martini Luce, when the brand explored new formal and material solutions in the name of functionality and aesthetic research.
A rare and refined object, it is now highly appreciated in the vintage design scene for its recognizable style and the quality of the materials. It is an emblematic example of how light, in Italian design of the second half of the twentieth century, also becomes a visual narrative, a changing form, a presence in space.
The structure of the floor lamp is in chromed metal and the cast iron base ensures maximum stability.
The structure has a small sign of rust, as shown in the photo.
