Geometric table lamp Cobra with rotating head The table lamp Cobra looks as if it had risen directly from the 60s. It captivates with its minimalist, round shapes made of synthetic resin, which can be unobtrusively integrated into the most diverse styles of furnishing. The table lamp is particularly attractive due to its rotatable head, which, when "turned up", actually reminds you of the snake that gave it its name. The Cobra table lamp is operated with LED lamps. It provides pleasant additional light that gently illuminates the surroundings. But even when switched off, this table lamp from Italian designers is an attractive decorative object. Martinelli Luce luminaires seem to be inspired by nature and geometric shapes, creating functional lighting systems. These are created from materials that reflect the true characteristics of the lamps. Some of these unique luminaires are exhibited in the most important design museums in the world. Martinelli Luce offers not only luminaires for private use, but also technical systems specially designed for use in offices, shops, hotels and other public areas. The focus here is on modern technologies that optimise energy consumption and offer light new possibilities for development.

Lamp Masters

The designer and entrepreneur behind the Italian lighting brand Martinelli Luce created the iconic Cobra lamp back in 1968. The table lamp was inspired by the organic shapes of nature, and nature in general was a great source of inspiration for Elio Martinelli throughout his career. The name gives an obvious clue as to what specific part of nature inspired this particular lamp. The product consists of two parts: an upper and a lower section, both of which can be rotated 360 degrees. As a result, the light source can be placed on all sides of the base, illuminating the exact target area. The light is strictly downward-facing, making the lamp the perfect fit for desks, bookshelves, and windowsills alike. To celebrate the 50th anniversary of the lamp in 2018, the company relaunched the product in a beautiful, red colour, complete with Elio Martinelli’s signature engraved. It is available in black, white, and red.
