Ceiling or wall lamp with white opaline methacrylate diffuser. Four brushed aluminium corners and white lacquered back plate. The Bolla is an icon of Martinelli design from the 1960s. Elegant and minimalist design, a language that is Martinelli's trademark. Rotating supports for fixing the diffuser in anodised aluminium. A bubble of light seems to emerge from the ceiling. It looks like a thin material that weighs down with its contents and could give way if it were not supported by four spacers placed at the four corners of the base. Martinelli Luce was born in 1950 in Lucca, Tuscany, thanks to the genius and commitment of Elio Martinelli, one of the most important designers of the 1960s and 1970s, specialised in the field of lighting. Elio Martinelli was born in Lucca on 19 November 1922. After a childhood and adolescence spent in Lucca, he began studying scenography in Florence where he graduated. He immediately began a collaboration with a company in Lucca for which he worked on interior design for public premises. He began to design and produce the lamps for his own projects. Thus Martinelli Luce was born, in a basement where, with difficulty, the few tools necessary for a small production were installed. It was with the first Eurodomus in Genoa in 1966 and the meeting with Giò Ponti that Elio Martinelli and his company gained international importance. In his professional life, Elio Martinelli designed many lamps and had to study new methacrylate moulding techniques to make some of them. This was the 1960s, a time of the birth of innovative and revolutionary plastic materials, and the most representative lamps of his production were made of plastic.
