Elio Martinelli, Model 694 “Pagoda” Table Lamp, Italy, 1960s

Creator: Elio Martinelli
Offered by: MA+39

Description
Designed by Elio Martinelli, the Model 694 “Pagoda” table lamp is an iconic example of Italian modern lighting from the 1960s. The lamp features a wide, gently flared shade in glossy white fiberglass, its soft, flowing silhouette reminiscent of traditional pagoda roofs. The shade diffuses light evenly, creating a warm and ambient glow while emphasizing the sculptural quality of the form.

It rests on a minimalist white metal base composed of slender cylindrical supports arranged in a geometric structure, giving the piece visual lightness and architectural balance. The contrast between the organic curvature of the shade and the rational structure of the base reflects Martinelli’s refined approach to modern design.

A timeless piece of Italian lighting, the Pagoda lamp embodies both functionality and sculptural elegance, making it ideal for desks, side tables, or as a collectible design accent in contemporary and mid-century interiors.
