Martinelli Luce

Founded in Italy in 1950 by Elio Martinelli, Martinelli Luce is one of the most established and prestigious brands of modern Italian lighting design. Since its inception, the brand has approached light not merely as a functional element, but as an architectural expression that defines space, standing out through its innovative use of materials, research-driven design approach, and timeless aesthetic.

From the 1960s and 1970s onward, Martinelli Luce boldly experimented with materials such as methacrylate, resin, and aluminum, creating iconic designs like Cobra, Pipistrello, and Serpente, which are still considered design classics today. Under the creative vision of Emiliana Martinelli, and through collaborations with internationally renowned designers such as Karim Rashid, Neil Poulton, and Brian Sironi, the brand continues to offer sustainable, long-lasting lighting solutions equipped with contemporary LED technologies.

Honored with prestigious awards including the Compasso d’Oro, iF Design Award, and Red Dot, Martinelli Luce collections deliver a powerful, sophisticated, and enduring lighting experience, representing Italian design culture across a wide range of projects—from residential spaces and hotels to offices and public environments.
