To celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Cobra lamp, several designers were asked to reinterpret, with their personal inspiration, its character with a graphic texture. A tribute from all of them to Elio Martinelli who designed the lamp in 1968. 23 creations in limited edition of 30 signed and numbered copies, to which is added the texture of the young designer winner of the competition dedicated to young people under 35, Elena Volpi.

“The invitation to study a new graphic image for the “Cobra” lamp designed in 1968 by Elio Martinelli must surely be tackled with due respect so as not to distort its original value. An invitation shared by other professionals tied to the corporate history of “Martinelli Luce”, symbolically underscored by the new collection of the “Cobra” lamp all dressed up through the ideas of new professionals. My project is a graphic intervention in black & white – two realities that have been accompanying my work since 1963. I wanted to create a strongly geometric image that involves the entire spherical dome and that affords a new optical aesthetic value of the surface in the rotation action of the light. A perception not possible in the essential and perfect form created by the brilliant Elio Martinelli fifty years ago”. Marcello Morandini
