Martinelli Luce Pipistrello table lamp – an iconic classic of design inspired by bat wings

Martinelli Luce Pipistrello table lamp: The "Bat"

Made in

Italy

Design

The Martinelli Luce Pipistrello table lamp is an absolutely iconic design of the 1960s. It was penned by the renowned Italian architect and designer Gae Aulenti in 1965. The name "Pipistrello" goes back to the unusual shape of the lampshade. Its silhouette is reminiscent of the spread wings of a bat, hence "pipistrello", Italian for bat. The lampshade of the Martinelli Luce Pipistrello table lamp is made of opal white methacrylate, held by a sturdy aluminium base, which is available in several colours.

Gae Aulenti, the designer of the Martinelli Luce Pipistrello table lamp who died in 2012, was one of the best-known architects in Italy. She designed, amongst other things, the Musée D’Orsay in Paris and was also responsible for the reconstruction of the Paris Centre Pompidou. Aulenti was also quite successful as a product designer. She is, for instance, represented in the exhibition of the famous New York Museum of Modern Art with the Pipistrello table lamp. Besides Martinelli Luce, Gae Aulenti also worked for renowned manufacturers such as iGuzzini and Fontana Arte.

Designer

The design of the Pipistrello Table lamp was penned by Gae Aulenti who created this luminaire in 1965 for the manufacturer Martinelli Luce.

Pipistrello table lamp – adjustable zone light

The opal white lampshade of the Martinelli Luce Pipistrello ensures a particularly pleasant lighting effect. It reflects the emitted light evenly downwards to create harmonious zone light. Inside the shade, a stainless steel telescopic rod is located, which can be used to adjust the height of the Pipistrello table lamp between 66 and 86 cm. This also has an effect on the light emission, which you can adjust to your personal needs. The Martinelli Luce Pipistrello requires four lamps with an E14 screw base.

Pipistrello table lamps for the living room

The iconic table lamp by Martinelli Luce certainly withstands the ravages of time. As a timeless beauty, it still serves as an exclusive eye-catcher today – after over fifty years after its introduction. For instance, in the living room, the classic table lamp comes into its own beside an armchair or a couch, where it serves as an elegant reading lamp. Also on a sideboard or a chest of drawers, the Pipistrello cuts a fine figure and, at the same time, accentuatingly illuminates that piece of furniture.
