Pipistrello, Gae Aulenti
A lamp that, through its diffuser and the sinuous and curvy telescopic base epitomizes discontinuity, modernity, humor and grace, elegance and dynamism.

Different colors, sizes and uses: an irresistible charm.
If Pipistrello has succeeded up until now in remaining always current and fascinating, it is not just thanks to its style and the design ingenuity of Gae Aulenti. Merit also goes to the company’s desire to dare and to re-propose it in different colors, dimensions and uses to better answer a continuously evolving market. And so, together with the current lamp come the Pipistrello Med and Mini Pipistrello models, the latter also in a cordless version in order to be easily moved based on needs. Pipistrello, Pipistrello Med and Mini Pipistrello also come in a dimmable version to enhance comfort and the different possibilities of use.


Designed in 1965 by Gae Aulenti for Martinelli Luce, the lamp is made with innovative techniques for the diffuser in methacrylate for the time in which it was designed. The shape of conic base grows in the height through the ribs of the diffuser as the wings of a bat. Resting on a table or standing on floor this lamp features with its expressive power any type of envirnment.
