Tempted to add a design icon to your interior? This model, which has been popular since 1965, displays a big reduction during the Black Friday period.
Design essentials are rarely on sale, yet this Black Friday is an exception and slashes the prices of a famous lamp often spotted in the interiors of decoration enthusiasts. If you want to give yourself a nice gift at the end of the year and bet on a piece that will not go out of fashion anytime soon and which has even been exhibited in museums around the world, this is undoubtedly the ideal opportunity. With a significant reduction of -40% for the medium model and -30% for the smallest model, it would be difficult to find the item cheaper.
Its Italian name means bat and refers to the bold shape of its diffuser. Created by Gae Aulenti in 1965 for the Martinelli Luce house, the Pipistrello lamp was at the time (and still is) a true technological feat. Its white thermoformed plastic diffuser rests on a telescopic base in lacquered steel or satin aluminum, depending on the version, which is adjustable from 66 to 86 cm. In addition to its iconic look, the lamp has been modernized and now adopts an LED system with a light dimmer.
Both a light sculpture and a practical object, this timeless object fits into both modern and classic interiors. Whether to illuminate an elegant living room, add character to an office or become the centerpiece of a bedroom, the Pipistrello adapts with finesse.
An icon of Italian design, the Pipistrello not only marked the 1960s, it continues to embody innovation and elegance throughout the world. It is found both in private collections and in prestigious museums such as the MoMA in New York or the Center Pompidou in Paris. In other words, you have little chance of making a mistake by investing in this piece which is also very easily resold on specialized sites. Priced at 1,665 euros for the classic model (66 to 86 cm), the lamp is offered at 999 euros after applying the reduction. The medium model in black or white costs 767.40 euros. Finally, the mini model drops to 489.30 euros with a reduction of -30%. These special Black Friday discounts are offered on the Galeries Lafayette and BHV websites.
