Cobra Texture Swivel Table Lamp | Designed by Alessandro Mendini | Martinelli Luce

This is a true "clash of the titans." When you combine the iconic 1968 silhouette of Elio Martinelli with the radical, colorful genius of Alessandro Mendini, the result is more than a lamp—it’s a collector’s trophy. The Cobra Texture Swivel Table Lamp Mendini Edition was released as part of the "Cobra Texture" project, where Mendini applied his signature "Proust" or "Pointillist" logic to the most famous curve in Italian lighting. Mendini was a giant of the Postmodern movement, known for his "re-design" philosophy. For the Cobra, he treated the high-gloss resin surface as a canvas for a vibrant, stippled pattern that breaks down the lamp's solid form into a cloud of color. It retains the mechanical soul of the 1968 original. The Cobra Texture Swivel table lamp pivots on a central steel joint, rotating from a solid, colorful sphere into its "ready-to-strike" cobra form. The "Texture" by Mendini is a kaleidoscopic pattern of dots and colors, a reference to his famous Poltrona di Proust. This pattern masks the geometry, creating a vibrant, energetic visual vibration. This edition is a bridge between industrial product and art object. It’s perfect for those who find the standard white or black Cobra too "quiet." When the lamp is on, the light creates a beautiful contrast with the outer graphic "skin," emphasizing the sculptural quality of the swivel.
