Minipipistrello by Martinelli Luce is a whimsical table lamp created by the Italian designer Gae Aulenti in 1965. The name of the luminaire comes from the Italian word for ”a bat”, pipistrello, and alludes to the playful and distinctive shape of the opal white shade that resembles the wings of a bat. The subtle cheerfulness of the luminaire is just as at home on top of a sideboard, desk or nightstand, and Minipipistrello also makes a lovely window light. The height of the mini-sized Pipistrello lamp is 35 cm.
