Description

Why choose the Pipistrello LED Lamp - Bronze finish? A sculptural, adjustable silhouette with strong decorative power White opal diffuser for soft, even light An icon of Italian design by Gae Aulenti, produced since 1965 A collector's item, exhibited in major international museums An iconic table lamp with a sculptural presenceCreated in 1965 by Gae Aulenti, the Pipistrello has established itself as a major figure of 20th-century design. Its undulating Lampshade, inspired by the flight of a Mouse, and its Chromed telescopic Base, legs give it a singular, unmistakable silhouette. The Mat Bronze version boasts a subtly metallic finish, both sober and sophisticated, in keeping with the times. A luminous invention with timeless codesBorn of a visionary gesture, the Pipistrello embodies a break with strict modernism. Its height-adjustable Base, from 66 to 86 cm, makes the lamp as practical as it is elegant. Four LED bulbs E14 diffuse a soft, balanced and generous light, ideal for reading, working or simply enhancing the space. A signature piece in the world of collectible designPublished by Martinelli Luce from the outset, the Pipistrello is more than a luminaire: it's a milestone of Italian design, celebrated at MoMA, the Centre Pompidou and the Vitra Design Museum. Neoliberty icon Gae Aulenti combines formal freedom and technical precision in a work that is as conceptual as it is functional. To own the Pipistrello is to bring home a piece of design history. A vibrant, refined, auteur light that transforms every space with a quiet, timeless force.

Our Stylist Says

This lamp is a distinctive statement piece that seamlessly blends mid-century design with playful modernity. I love its sculptural form and the warm brown plastic material, which provides a softer, more inviting aesthetic compared to metallic finishes. It works brilliantly in eclectic, contemporary interiors or even in more classic spaces where a touch of unexpected character is welcome. Practical styling tips include pairing it with minimalist furniture to let its unique shape stand out, or grouping it with other vintage or artisan pieces for a curated look. Its adjustable height makes it versatile for use as a desk light or accent lamp, adding both function and personality to the space.
