Martinelli Luce, a company
established as a family business,
over the years has been able to
stand out in the world of design, to
the point of gaining the trust and
appreciation of both the industry and
the public, consolidating its brand
both in Italy and abroad.
Martinelli Luce has never followed
trends, but has looked at them with
a wise eye, pursuing its own path
centred on technology, functionality,
minimalism, with references to the
geometry of shapes and nature.
Many of the lamps refer to natural
elements and the names of flowers,
plants and animals: Serpente,
Pipistrello, Cobra, Colibrì, Cicala,
Maggiolone, Pulce… The shapes,
already pure and iconic since the
beginning of the Company, the use
of new materials, new moulding
systems, new light sources and new
technologies have always marked
Martinelli Luce’s philosophy: that is,
to create not only new shapes, but
to focus on solving and proposing
innovative lighting solutions.
Founded by Elio Martinelli in the
1950s in the basement of a historic
building in the centre of Lucca, the
company moved in the 1970s to
its current location in the luxuriant
greenery surrounding the city. Today
Martinelli Luce, LED by his daughter
Emiliana and grandson Marco,
continues to produce new design
solutions with lamps created both in-
house and by external designers.
The history of Martinelli Luce
represents an important added value
that has been difficult to achieve
and must not be dispersed; it
derives from the work of a group of
people who have contributed to the
company’s success.
Several historic lamps are still in the
catalogue, together with projects
by new designers who have won
important international awards
including the Compasso d’Oro.
The entire collection is divided into
three catalogues: Lamps (decorative),
Architectural and Outdoor, to meet
various architectural and domestic
requirements.
This catalogue brings together
the production dedicated to the
home, although many of the fixtures
proposed can be used in commercial
or professional environments.
For the technical and outdoor
sector, please refer to the specific
catalogues and to the company’s
website, which also illustrates
the important bespoke work that
Martinelli Luce has always taken
care of and continues to do today,
customising standard lamps or
creating specific fixtures that follow
the design requests of architects for
various architectural and contract
contexts.
LIGHT FOR LIFE
A lamp is not just a light source but its own interpretation.
