ABOUT PRODUCTID 30868
The Pipistrello table lamp, designed by Gae Aulenti for Martinelli Luce at the turn of the 1960s and 1970s, stands as a landmark of Italian modernist design. Its construction features a wide, flared base in matte black, seamlessly transitioning into a telescopic column of brushed stainless steel crowned by a chrome ring. The opaline methacrylate diffuser, shaped into four petal-like segments reminiscent of bat wings, provides soft, diffused illumination. The lamp’s proportions are bold and sculptural, while its construction details—such as the precise junctions of metal and plastic—reflect an advanced level of craftsmanship. The piece is preserved in excellent original condition, with no signs of wear and a clearly visible manufacturer’s logo underneath. The price listed refers to a single piece.
Pipistrello speaks in a form that continues to impress with scale and organic lightness. Its opaline diffuser, like outstretched wings, conjures the silhouette of Italian city nights, while the gleaming steel reflects the movement and light of any interior, as if the lamp itself is intent on shaping the atmosphere of every era. This is the voice of the 1960s—a decade when design was bold, experimental, and accessible. Every detail tells a story of the time when Italian design sought a new language, blending technology with the poetry of everyday life.
The Pipistrello lamp will fit seamlessly into mid-century modern spaces, contemporary living rooms, or eclectic collector’s offices
