Early Pipistrello by Gae Aulenti for Martinelli Luce Italy 1965

Early pipistrello table lamp designed by gae aulenti in 1965 for martinelli luce italy. A true design icon in the history of lighting. The white stainless steel base supports a telescopic neck and a four-sided white plastic diffuser. As the height is adjustable the lamp can be used as a table lamp as well as a floor lamp. It uses 4 e12 bulbs... Very impressive lamp that's still doing the job nowadays. We acquired the lamp from the first owner who bought the lamp around 1980. These early editions are very hard to get. The lamp is marked underneath the base. The lamp is in very good original condition. The shade is excellent. One tiny dent at the white base.
