■ HISTORY & DESIGN
Designed in 1965 by the visionary Italian architect and designer Gae Aulenti for Martinelli Luce, the "Pipistrello" lamp transcends time. With its silhouette inspired by bat wings, it has established itself as a masterpiece of 20th-century design, exhibited in the world's greatest museums.
Here we offer the original large-format version, featuring its black lacquered conical base and its ingenious telescopic stainless steel arm (bearing the designer's engraved signature). A true luminous sculpture, its 10 kilos attest to the exceptional quality of its materials. An essential investment piece that structures and illuminates even the most discerning interiors.
