Bolla 2760 Ceiling Lamp

Bolla is a ceiling lamp from the Italian brand Martinelli Luce. Designed by Elio Martinelli in 1960, it is a lamp that is based on the idea of the movement of light and the tension of the material.

The lamp is designed as a light-filled bubble that seems to be squeezed out of the ceiling, where the shape gives the impression of a thin material that is weighed down by its contents. The construction is held in place by four spacers placed in the corners of the base, which reinforces the expression and visual balance. The design reflects Elio Martinelli's view of form and function, where geometry, nature and usability interact in a cohesive object.

Bolla functions as both lighting and an architectural element in the room, with an expression that brings to mind a drop of water falling from the ceiling or glass covered in closely spaced drops. The combination of form, light and design makes Bolla a clear example of Martinelli Luce's work with innovative lighting design.
