The Coque table lamp is a striking example of 1970s Italian design by Elio Martinelli for Martinelli Luce. This sculptural, three-legged lamp—model Coque (meaning “shell” in French and “soft” in Italian)—features a thick, frosted glass dome that conceals the light source beneath, casting a beautifully diffused, ambient glow.
Inspired by the interplay between nature and geometry, the lamp blends functional innovation with artistic elegance. The frosted glass is substantial and expertly crafted, reflecting the high quality and attention to detail typical of Martinelli Luce's work during this era.
The Coque’s soft, atmospheric light and minimalist yet organic form make it a standout piece in any setting. A rare find for design lovers and collectors alike, this lamp offers both sculptural beauty and warm functionality.
In very good vintage condition, the lamp shows only minor signs of age and use—a testament to its durability and timeless appeal.
