An exceptional 1960s wall-mounted lamp by Elio Martinelli for Martinelli Luce. Featuring an elongated, articulated metal arm and a hemispherical shade, this rare Italian mid-century design delivers overhead illumination with sculptural presence.

An iconic piece of Italian mid-century modern design, this original wall-mounted lamp was designed by Elio Martinelli and manufactured by Martinelli Luce during the 1960s. Demonstrating brilliant spatial engineering, the fixture features an extended, curved tubular metal arm paired with a classic hemispherical shade, creating the effect of a suspended ceiling pendant from a wall mount. Rendered in a cream-white lacquered finish with contrasting black structural accents, the lamp is perfectly proportioned for illuminating a living room seating arrangement, a dining table, or a refined executive study. It retains its original inline switch and wiring, standing in remarkable vintage condition with honest, minimal traces of age and an undisturbed patina. A highly collectible statement piece that bridges functional ingenuity with timeless aesthetic appeal.
