Minipipistrello
The “mini” version of the famous Pipistrello lamp designed by Gae Aulenti in 1965 won immediate recognition as an example of a perfect rereading, in a contemporary key, of a timeless original. Minipipistrello is acclaimed in Italy and even more so abroad, where it is now a true objet du désir. As well as in white and black-brown, the Minipipistrello is now presented in a version featuring a copper base and knob with au courant flair that sheds a completely new light on the purity of the lines of this lamp. The new version is made even more precious by the architect’s signature and a customized logo.
