AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Extraordinary Bat POP No. 64, signed by Gae Aulenti and produced by Martinelli Luce. A special and colorful version of one of the most iconic lamps in the history of Italian design, here offered in a vibrant glossy yellow finish with black details, which highlight its bold and contemporary character.

**This specimen, numbered No. 64 and signed by Gae Aulenti, stands out for its collectible value and for the unique identity of this special edition.**

Originally designed in 1965, the Pipistrello has become an international symbol of twentieth-century design. Its unmistakable silhouette arises from the meeting between the flared diffuser, with the characteristic wavy profile inspired by the wings of a bat, and the sculptural base, which gives the lamp a harmonious balance between organic forms and essential geometries.

The POP version reinterprets this masterpiece through a bold chromatic language, transforming the lamp into an authentic furnishing element. The brilliant yellow shade, paired with the glossy black base and details, creates a striking graphic contrast, inspired by the spirit of Pop Art.

The opal white acrylic diffuser allows the light to spread softly and evenly, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The telescopic structure, a distinctive feature of Pipistrello, also allows adjusting the height to suit different environments and needs.

Gae Aulenti's signature and the numbering **No. 64** make this specimen particularly interesting for lovers of author design and for collectors of Martinelli Luce creations.

Perfect on a desk, a console, a coffee table or in a reception space, Pipistrello POP instantly draws the eye and becomes the centerpiece of the space, both lit and unlit.
