Italian Flex 659 Table Lamp by Elio Martinelli for Martinelli Luce, 1970s

About This Piece

Vintage Design

The model 'Flex 659', was designed by Elio Martinelli for Martinelli Luce in Italy. Originally it was designed for the exhibition in Turin in 1973. It is an innovative clamp design, with a flexible arm made of ABS and chrome, and a metal hood that has a black push switch on top. The organic shape of the flexible arm is similar to a human spine and makes this lamp adjustable in any direction. This lamp is in a nice condition. It shows signs of usage, but still in real good condition for a more than 30 year old lamp.

Lamp in nice condition. Signs of usage. One minor reparation, but therefor even better/stronger.
