PALLINO, la lampada che ti guarda.
His name, Pallino, is an affectionate diminutive
the kind of name you give to something that immediately feels like home.
Its shape is compact, a play on geometric contrasts:
the spherical spotlight is a small, adjustable globe that directs light (…and the gaze) wherever it’s needed; the slightly curved cylindrical base is solid and minimalist; it supports the sphere, giving it a sense of momentum
Functional minimalism
On your desk, it directs the light exactly where you need it.
On your bedside table, it creates a cosier, softer and more personal atmosphere.
In the living room, well, it does what all designer pieces do: it catches your eye and then holds your attention.
Pallino has that light-hearted quality of lamps that don’t take themselves too seriously. It makes you smile, piques your curiosity and sparks conversation. And perhaps that is why, despite the simplicity of its design, it manages to make such a lasting impression.
The reissue
Created in the early 1970s, when Italian design dared to be playful, Pallino re-emerges today from the past as if from a time capsule. Those were years of experimentation, of a newfound freedom expressed in design through saturated colours, glossy plastics and geometries that challenged the rigour of the past. Amidst that ferment, Pallino stood out for its simplicity and formal rigour.
Because in twenty years’ time, it will still be there, and it will still be just right.
Because it makes every room a little livelier and less predictable.
Because it is part of a design philosophy that has always set Martinelli Luce apart: one that combines function, innovation and identity.
Available in a range of colours. None of which are bland.
