New colours for Martinelli Luce's Elmetto
(Italy) - The new Elmetto lamp in pastel pink and blue is part of the Martinelli Luce’s remake project of timeless icons, including Elmetto designed in 1976 by Elio Martinelli.
Still unchanged today in aesthetic form, Elmetto has been updated with new colours after the red-ruby version for its 40th anniversary. Presented in Milano Design Week earlier this year in the classic pop colours of the original lamp, Martinelli Luce now proposes the pastel pink and blue variations, inspired by the trends launched by the Pantone colours of the year: Rose Quartz and Serenity, tones that will be protagonists of the upcoming fashion collections for 2017.
Born as a night lamp, Elmetto's new colours perfectly interpret the soft, anti-stress colours of modern life, suitable for children's or adult's rooms as two cozy and enveloping tones.
The lamp in its essential simplicity, which resembles the shape of the typical metallic military hat, was reinterpreted in an ironic way by Elio Martinelli.
As with all the great design classics, Elmetto remains - even after 40 years since its creation - small, functional but of great character. Elmetto's signature mark is a switch in the central part of the base, easy to find even at night, and a reflector that moves with a simple hand gesture.
SATTLER family business in third generation
(Germany) - With Sattler's newest member of the management team, Sven Sattler, the Sattler family business enters its third generation.
For more than 30 years, the Göppingen-based company SATTLER has been an established name in the international lighting industry. With its wide range of lighting systems, the company maintains a strong presence on the market. With his entry to the management team, Sven Sattler inspires new ideas, provides creative impulse to the family-run business and is able to build on sound organisational structures.
“I'm proud of the fact that we work so well as a family business. When my wife and I took over my father’s company, change was brought about. However, the good was preserved – this is happening again with my son’s entry into the business”, says Ulrich Sattler. Together with his son Sven, he is responsible for dual leadership of the company.
Having his son by his side is a great gain for Ulrich Sattler. In his own words, he is now able to concentrate “on the beautiful aspects of his profession”: That includes giving talks or working intensively on product design. Among other tasks, Sven Sattler is primarily focused on the continuous expansion into international markets.
His brother Tim is an addition to the management in the areas of controlling and process management. The family describes their way of working together in simple terms: “Not only looking at each other, but looking in the same direction!” That sense of strength leaves management and staff with a relaxed view of the future: SATTLER has achieved a continuous, double-digit percentage growth rate for several years, both nationwide and on the international market.
