Pipistrello Pop / Martinelli luce

Martinelli luce presents Pipistrello Pop. A bold chromatic choice that meets an icon while maintaining an exclusive character

Designed in 1965 by Gae Aulenti for Martinelli Luce – today one of the most dynamic companies in the production of lamps and lighting systems – the iconic Pipistrello, in its new yellow color and graphic design, pays homage to Pop art, the artistic movement widespread in the second half of the 1950s, characterized by the full and lively colors of images and everyday objects, transformed into art.

The lamp generates a visual contrast that affects the perception of a space, making it appear exuberant in dynamic situations and warm in neutral ones. It becomes the center of attention for everything around it.

The bright and vivid yellow of the base cone is emphasized by black details and enhanced by the contrast with the white of the diffuser and the stainless steel of the telescope. Personalized with progressive numbering, Pipistrello, in its Pop version, illuminates the environments, inspiring that positivity combined with the energy, the vitality and the optimism associated with the yellow color.

“I love yellow because it is a sunny color that inspires optimism, light, and energy. It’s a color I identify with because some of its connotations reflect part of my character. Yellow is also the color of friendship, just like the one that linked me to Gae Aulenti whom I met as a child. She frequently used red, but I also know that she liked yellow, a warm and sunny color. Since we have already edited the Ruspa lamp in this color, why not Pipistrello too. Yes, but… in a Pop key!” Emiliana Martinelli
