Serpente table lamp at Fabbian Lighting
Designed by Elio Martinelli in 1965, this polymetacrylate and enamelled metal light looks as good today as it did back then. Elio Martinelli’s lighting designs show the masterful skill and quality which makes Italian design so unique. The Serpente table lamp offers direct and diffused light and features a swivelling arm which allows the diffuser to be moved into various positions. The Martinelli Luce range is available soon at Fabbian Lighting, 66b Mt Eden Road, Auckland.

We check out houses that make amazing use of the two ends of the light spectrum, and go back to the swinging Sixties with a mid-century Mod shoot. Plus, as always, the latest news in products, technology, reading, wine, art and fashion design. Because opposites are attractive!
