An icon of Italian design created in 1965 by Gae Aulenti for Martinelli Luce, the Pipistrello takes its name from the bat (“pipistrello” in Italian), whose spread wings inspired its diffuser. The Pipistrello Satin Brass lamp is the original bulb version. Its satin brass structure, with soft and precious reflections, elevates its sculptural silhouette.
Its opal white methacrylate diffuser provides soft, diffused light from four 4 W E14 LED bulbs, included (1,800 lm, 2700 K). Its telescopic stem adjusts the height from 70 to 86 cm, making it suitable as a table lamp or as a floor-standing accent light.
Designed by Gae Aulenti and produced by Martinelli Luce, the Pipistrello Satin Brass is a timeless piece combining heritage and innovation.

The Pipistrello lamp was designed in 1965 by Italian architect and designer Gae Aulenti for Martinelli Luce. Its diffuser was made using moulding techniques that were innovative at the time. Its name means “bat” in Italian: the flared base rises and widens into the ribs of the diffuser, like outstretched wings. Still produced by Martinelli Luce, the Pipistrello is one of the most iconic lamps in Italian design.
The Pipistrello lamp is 55 cm in diameter and its height adjusts from 70 to 86 cm thanks to its telescopic stem in satin stainless steel. It weighs 8.8 kg in the bulb version and 9.6 kg in the LED version. Its 45 + 200 cm power cable gives great freedom of placement.
Yes. Martinelli Luce designed the Pipistrello as both a table lamp and a floor lamp. On a console, sideboard or table, it creates a soft ambient light. Placed on the floor at its highest position (86 cm), it becomes a sculptural accent lamp next to an armchair or sofa.
Both versions share exactly the same design. The bulb version uses four E14 G45 4 W LED bulbs, included (4 x 450 lm, i.e. 1,800 lm, 2700 K); it is not dimmable and the bulbs can be replaced. The Pipistrello LED has an integrated 11.8 W LED source (1,796 lm, 2700 K), dimmable via an in-line dimmer on the cord, with a stated lifespan of 50,000 hours and energy class E. The light output is equivalent: choose the LED version if you want to adjust the light intensity.
The bulb version of the Pipistrello uses four E14 LED bulbs, G45 format, 4 W and 2700 K, supplied with the lamp. The Pipistrello LED has no bulb to change: its light source is integrated and dimmable.
At SILVERA, the Pipistrello lamp is available in glossy white (RAL 9003), matt brown (RAL 8019), matt agave green (RAL 6004), glossy black (RAL 9005), satin brass and matt bronze lacquer depending on the version, as well as in the White Matt (matt white) and Pop (yellow and black) editions.
