About the Item

Sergio Asti for “Martinelli Luce”, “Profiterole” floor or table lamp. Italy 1968. The Profiterole lamp, designed by Italian designer Sergio Asti (1926-2021) for Martinelli Luce, beautifully combines functionality with artistic expression. Inspired by the delicious round pastries filled with cream, this lamp blends practical lighting with objet d’art. Its three-dimensional form, crafted primarily from fiberglass, features an embossed ‘blown-up’ surface, creating a visually striking piece. The lamp is further accentuated by a black plastic ring which connects its two components. Through its inventive use of materials and whimsical, biomorphic design, the Profiterole lamp is a true reflection of the artistic style of the Pop Art era.
