First produced in 1960, the Bolla — \"bubble\" — is one of the studio's defining designs: a square diffuser of opal-white methacrylate that swells into a soft dome, held at each corner by a rotating brushed-aluminium spacer over a white lacquered backplate. Lit, it reads as a bubble of light lifting off the surface. Both pieces retain the Martinelli Luce label.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Italy (Lucca, Tuscany)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSourced in:\u003c\/strong\u003e Milan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEra:\u003c\/strong\u003e Designed 1960; produced c.1960s–1970s\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDesigner:\u003c\/strong\u003e Elio Martinelli\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Martinelli Luce\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eModel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bolla (smaller 26 cm size)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaterials:\u003c\/strong\u003e Opal-white methacrylate diffuser, brushed aluminium corner spacers, white lacquered backplate\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 26 × 26cm, each\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAttribution:\u003c\/strong\u003e Documented model; both retain the Martinelli Luce label (see photographs)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Good vintage condition, consistent with age.
