Marco Ghilarducci is an Italian designer and entrepreneur, now at the helm of Martinelli Luce, the historic company founded by his grandfather Elio Martinelli and a leading name in Made in Italy lighting design. A graduate in Logistics and Production Engineering from the University of Pisa, he has combined solid technical training with a deep passion for design and technological innovation.
His design approach stems from the meeting of engineering culture and formal research. Always interested in new technologies and digital design tools, he interprets light as a functional element able to improve everyday experience through intelligent, intuitive solutions.
His most representative creation is TX1, a table lamp with an essential, technological design that evokes the shape of a radar and integrates advanced light control systems. A project that perfectly expresses his vision: combining innovation, ease of use and aesthetic quality in a single product.
While devoting much of his work to the strategic leadership of Martinelli Luce, Marco Ghilarducci continues to contribute to the evolution of Italian design through a contemporary vision that honours the company's design legacy and projects it into the future. His work represents a balance between tradition, technology and design culture, values that have always marked the excellence of Made in Italy.
