Step hanging lamp by Elio Martinelli for Martinelli Luce, 1970s. Half-sphere lampshade in white 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.

Martinelli Luce was founded in 1950 thanks to the intuition of Elio Martinelli, one of the most significant designers of the 1960s and 1970s in the field of lighting. Over the years, the company has collaborated with many important designers such as Gae Aulenti, Sergio Asti, Richard Neutra, Studio Orlandini, Marc Sadler, Luc Ramael, Studio Lucchi & Biserni, Angelo Micheli, Karim Rashid, Massimo Farinatti, Paola Navone, Alfonso Femia and many others. ''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".
