For the 40th anniversary of the Musée d’Orsay, martinelli luce introduces a new version of Pipistrello, the lamp designed by G*e Aulenti in 1965 and now reinterpreted through the atmosphere of the Parisian museum.
The edition draws inspiration from the museum’s interiors, translating the tone of its vaulted nave into a soft green finish that feels architectural rather than decorative. It is a subtle shift, but a meaningful one: the colour turns the lamp into a bridge between public space and private ritual, between the monumental scale of the museum and the intimate glow of domestic light.
With its telescopic stem, sculptural base and opal methacrylate diffuser, Pipistrello keeps its unmistakable silhouette while taking on a new cultural resonance. The diffuser opens like a pair of wings, softening the light and reinforcing the object’s quiet theatricality 👉 https://archprd.com/4uoEXZU
