Martinelli Luce Elmetto table lamp – a smart pop classic with an adjustable reflector
Since 1976, the
Elmetto by
Martinelli Luce has impressed everyone with its fine humour, its special light characteristics and an easy handling. This table lamp that was completely manufactured from synthetic resin catches the eye with its dome-shaped reflector. It is mounted slightly offset above the cylindrical frame and the cone-shaped base. Thanks to this minor irregularity, the lampshade can be easily moved in different positions. For instance, the user may choose between direct and indirect lighting. The name and the shape of the
Martinelli Luce Elmetto table lamp are a
playful illusion to the typical shape of a soldier’s helmet.
Elmetto lights: direct or indirect mood lighting for all occasions
If the reflector of the
Martinelli Luce Elmetto table lamp is to be found in its initial position, the luminaire emits its light downwards. This way, it highlights its colourful frame and becomes a
trendy eye-catcher. In the
living room or in the hallway it supplies pleasant ambient lighting when it is placed on a commode, a sideboard or a table. In order to shift it in the second possible position you have to swing the lampshade upwards. This way, the little table lamp by the Italian light manufacturer Martinelli Luce emits focused lighting in the direction required and therefore might serve as a reading aid, for instance, on a desk in the study or on a side table next to an armchair. In order to achieve indirect, atmospheric lighting, the reflector might be tilted forwards by 90°, which allows the light emitted to be directly pointed at a wall. The
Elmetto by Martinelli Luce cuts a particularly great figure on a bedside table by always ensuring the right lighting mood with its adjustable light. Furthermore, the large black switch on the frame can be easily found in the dark.
Colourful table lamps made of innovative, synthetic resins
Owing to its design and socket, not every illuminant can be inserted into this
table lamp by Martinelli Luce even though the
Elmetto table light is provided with an E27 base. Particularly in the case of LED retrofits you should make sure that the lamp is not too large, since these lamps can be some centimetres larger than other lamps due to the integrated heat sink.
The
Martinelli Luce Elmetto table lamp is offered in a variety of trendy colours that make this small light source a special eye-catcher. You can choose between the colours blue, yellow, green, orange, black and white.
The
Elmetto is a piece by the Martinelli Luce founder Elio Martinelli. His works stand out for the simplicity of geometrical forms that are inspired by nature. A characteristic further feature is the use of new and
innovative materials.
