A retro wink for a light that’s always current
Designed in 1976 by Elio Martinelli, the Elmetto lamp embodies the spirit of innovation and playfulness that defined Italian design in the 1970s. Faithfully reissued by Martinelli Luce with an eye for detail, it charms with its soft curves, graphic form and a palette of vintage colours. A humble everyday object turned icon, it brings a mischievous glow to any corner—both practical and poetic.
A silhouette like no other
Its truncated conical resin body and pivoting hemispherical shade give Elmetto its instantly recognisable form. Both playful and functional, it draws inspiration from protective helmets, while maintaining an airy, elegant presence. Offered in a variety of tones—from crisp white and deep ruby red to warm hues like yellow, orange or soft green—it suits all decorative moods while never fading into anonymity.
Customisable light, easy to control
The adjustable reflector lets you direct the light as needed—perfect for reading, writing or simply softening the room’s atmosphere. A large switch on the lamp’s central body makes it easy to operate, even in the dark. With a low-energy 5 W E27 bulb, Elmetto delivers 320 lumens of warm, direct light—ideal for small spaces or as a gentle complement to ambient lighting.
Compact, stable and always ready
Measuring 28 cm in height with a 22 cm base diameter, Elmetto fits naturally on a bedside table, desk, shelf or console. Its 2-metre power cable offers flexible placement, while its light 1.5 kg weight ensures stability without compromising on mobility. Designed for 110–230 V, it adapts easily to any home while keeping power consumption low.
A joyful, expressive piece true to the Martinelli Luce spirit
More than a simple lamp, Elmetto expresses a philosophy of playful, accessible and emotionally resonant design. It doesn’t seek to dazzle, but wins you over with its thoughtful simplicity, efficiency and quiet charm. A beloved lamp that defies time, still carrying the creative energy of its era with freshness and flair. A signature of Italian design, made to brighten everyday life.
