We’ve featured plenty of Elio Martinelli’s lighting designs from the 1960s, but he also produced one or two gems in the 1970s too, including the Elio Martinelli Elmetto table lamp.

Less free-flowing than the famous 60s designs like the Cobra and Serpente, the 1976 Elmetto design still packs those space age looks with its resin structure, swivel reflector and diffused light.

Available in white only, you can pick one up for £138.

That price? Just over £29.
