Step hanging lamp by Elio Martinelli for Martinelli Luce, 1970s. Half-sphere lampshade in black lacquered aluminum. The concentric shapes repeated in a precise sequence reveal the designer's aptitude for the search for geometric essentiality. It is a lamp characterized by simple and functional lines in which all the elements fit into each other reducing to a disk a few centimeters high, with a telescopic closing and opening system. Its particular lamellar metal structure recalls some of Alvar Aalto's most famous lamps and the hexagonal lamp designed in 1959 by Bruno Munari for Danese.

''We believe in the essential, which for us means no frills or unnecessary frills; the lines we design and that give shape and contour to our products are both the minimum and the maximum. It is not simply a matter of design: it is design concept and production philosophy. We want to stimulate new points of view by inspiring through our products the curiosity and creativity of people; whether they are engineers, architects, tradesmen or simply private individuals. To make them see with new eyes what daily appears ordinary to them. Through these simple and for us invaluable values we manage to stay true to the creative culture that pervades every project or product'.'
