Tortuga is a compact wall lamp that combines functionality with a minimalist yet highly evocative design. The inspiration for this product comes from the childhood memory of the German designer of a small flashlight that he used to attach to the wall. The idea was to capture the playful and childish aesthetic of that object and transform it into a design product.
“As a child, I had a ladybug-shaped flashlight that I could attach to the wall. Its memory inspired the design of Tortuga for Martinelli Luce. I wanted to capture that aesthetic and turn it into a product for adults that was in line with the brand’s design language – cheerful, while remaining simple and highly functional. In the end, the lamp turned out to resemble more of a turtle – hence the name – but I still liked it a lot” (Moritz Putzier).
Made entirely of die-cast aluminium, the lamp stands out for its 360° rotation and 25° tilt, which make it highly practical to use. The light adjustment is intuitive and allows directing the light flow exactly where needed, ensuring optimal brightness in any situation. Tortuga can be used both as a reading light and as a decorative spotlight, adapting to various environments and proving to be a perfect choice for modern spaces.
