Known for combining geometric purity with functional lighting solutions, this design appears deceptively simple from the outside but features a sophisticated internal structure. The lamp features a smooth, white lacquered metal conical shade. The interior is distinctively designed with a series of concentric, stepped "ribs" or rings. These are not merely decorative; they function as a diffuser system to break up the light, preventing glare and creating a soft, even downward illumination. The fixture retains its original manufacturer's label marked "Martinelli Luce - Mod. 1836 - Made in Italy" inside the shade. Its clean lines and neutral white finish make it an incredibly versatile piece for kitchens, dining areas, or architectural workspaces. Condition Report: The lamp is in good vintage condition. The white lacquer finish is clean and well-preserved with minor signs of age and use. The electrical components are functional. This piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker. It has no attribution mark and no
