The new Martinelli Luce lamps combine pop design, color and functionality: Karim Rashid's iconic Cyborg gets a makeover with new colors; Toggle by Neil Poulton is a reading light with a discreet design; the Metrica lamp by Studio Habits is inspired by the roll-up meter; Lady Galala is the new indoor and outdoor collction by Peluffo&Partners.
Cyborg becomes very colorful thanks to two new shades that are even more eccentric and full of personality: Fuchsia pink, one of the designer's favorite shades; 'Texture' where the colors seem almost cast from above, giving life to nuances that blend softly with each other. Cyborg is an excellent companion for moments of relaxation, she switches on and off with a light touch and, when illuminated, she almost seems to rise suspended from her own beam of light.
Toggle is a small wall light that can be fixed to the side of the bed, either horizontally or vertically, a discreet and functional presence that can be switched on and off thanks to a lever that enhances its essentiality and character. Toggle, designed by Neil Pulton, is a reading light that illuminates moments of nocturnal relaxation, but not only. Designed for the hotel industry, Toggle can also be used in domestic situations thanks to its simple and practical design.
Metrica, the new project designed by Studio Habits, is inspired by the rolling tape measure. A flap is used to pull out the measuring instrument, which then slides back into its holder.
And that's exactly how this lamp works: a light module fixed on a sliding support that can be pulled out from its housing by means of a flap.
The more you pull the LED out, the brighter it gets. To turn Metrica off, simply push it down until the light module is completely retracted.
Lady Galala is a suspension lamp composed of an internal body that combines three different conical-shaped diffusers of different diameters and colour shades, reminiscent of the sun and the sea. Yellow and orange, like the light at sunset that is reflected in a thousand shades on the sand; blue and white, like the foam of the sea created by the waves.
This light can therefore take on many different configurations of colour and shape, easily changing its appearance. Like a children's game.
'Lady Galala was created during a meeting under a tent in the mountainous desert of Sokhna, Egypt. It was imagined as moved by the wind, in a dream of colours and joy, mounted and hung in a less casual manner, for an evening of shisha, Turkish coffee or tea. In the various combinations, it resembles the appearance of the East, the Middle Eastern, African, Mediterranean, and finally the look of our own home. A madeleine of light and lightness', says Peluffo&Partners.
