More than 70 years after its foundation, Martinelli Luce is an Italian lighting company known all over the world and one of the leading brands in the Italian design landscape. Success has come thanks to years of continuous experimentation, research, technological development, innovation and collaboration with well-known designers, all factors that have kept the brand in step with market demands and above the trends of the moment, becoming over the years a point of reference in the field of decorative and lighting technology.
Over time, the company has collaborated and continues to collaborate with well-known designers such as Gae Aulenti, Sergio Asti, Paola Navone, Karim Rashid, Marc Sadler, Studio Natural, Brian Sironi and many others. Each of them has been able to interpret light in a unique way, designing timeless, functional lamps for Martinelli Luce, consistently in balance with the distinctive canons of the brand, with many receiving important international awards including Elica (Compasso d’Oro 2011), Multidot, Avro, Infinita, Dia, Lunaop, Colibrì, and Calabrone among others.
Some of these products have contributed to the history of lighting and hold a place in contemporary art or design history museums such as the MoMA in New York and the Triennale in Milan.
Today, the company's production is divided into three lighting families for different usage needs, and collected in three catalogues: Lamps (decorative) - Architectural (systems for contract) - Outdoor (Gardens and outdoor spaces). Martinelli Luce also offers a bespoke service to meet the demands of architects and designers by designing lamps based on specific needs or by customizing those already included in the catalogue.
Martinelli Luce has been listed in the special Register of Historic Brands of National Interest since 2023, when it was acknowledged as a historic Italian company. Set up by the Ministry of Economic Development to protect and enhance the production excellence historically linked to the territory and active for at least fifty years, the Register gathers just over 550 Italian brands (data updated to 9 May 2023, source: Ministero Delle Imprese e Del Made In Italy, Uibm).
