Be seduced by the limited edition of Pipistrello: only 200 pieces

In 2025, the famous Pipistrello lamp by Martinelli Luce turns 60 and is being renewed with a new and refined look. Pipistrello White MATT is born, a reinterpretation that celebrates the essence of an icon of Italian design through a new finish that combines aesthetics and sensoriality.

Alongside the standard version, Martinelli Luce also presents a limited edition that further enhances the uniqueness of this legendary piece: Pipistrello White MATT – Limited Edition, produced in just 200 numbered copies.

A creation designed for collectors and for those who want to take home a piece of design history.

Let's get to know it in more detail.

Pipistrello White Matt specifics

The White MATT finish introduces a new dimension in the perception of Pipistrello. The matt white of the knob and cone evokes ethereal and silent atmospheres, a visual lightness that blends with the material. The painted surface instead evokes the texture of plaster: slightly rough, velvety to the touch, almost poetic in its essentiality.

The diffuser in matt satin methacrylate instead accompanies this tactile sensation with a play of soft and suffused lights. Finally, the ring and the base in satin steel complete the picture with a note of discreet and contemporary elegance.

The result is a lamp that not only illuminates, but tells a story, involving sight, touch and even the auditory imagination, with the sensation of a muffled silence.

Pipistrello White Matt limited edition: only 200 pieces

To celebrate the 60th anniversary of Pipistrello in a truly special way, Martinelli Luce has created a limited edition of 200 pieces of the White MATT, enriched with exclusive details that make it a collector's item.

In fact, each piece is engraved with the progressive number and the wording "60 years", in memory of this important anniversary. The engraving, discreet but significant, tells the identity of the lamp and certifies its authenticity.

It is no coincidence that a numbered certificate attesting to its uniqueness is included with the lamp. But the most precious detail is the small Swarovski crystal that elegantly seals the base, a symbol of luxury and refinement. It is therefore a choice that further embellishes an already iconic design, making it even more seductive in the eyes of enthusiasts.

Where to place Pipistrello White Matt Limited Edition

The Pipistrello White MATT Limited Edition is designed for context where design is the protagonist. Its timeless aesthetic lends itself perfectly to both residential and high-profile contract interiors.

At home, it fits elegantly into a minimalist living room, on a designer table or a modern sideboard, where it can be appreciated from every angle.

In the contract context, however, it is perfect for lounges, boutique hotels, showrooms and architecture studios, where it becomes a symbol of style and design culture. Its shape is unmistakable and its finish captures the eye.

Why choose Pipistrello White Matt limited edition

Buying the Pipistrello White MATT limited edition means taking home much more than a lamp: it means choosing a design object that encompasses 60 years of history, innovation and beauty.

It is a declaration of taste, a celebration of Italian creativity, an investment destined to maintain

(and increase) its value over time.

For collectors and admirers of iconic design, it represents an unrepeatable opportunity: only 200 pieces are available in the world. Its uniqueness is then guaranteed by the engraved number, the certification and special details such as the Swarovski, which make it an exclusive piece, difficult to replicate and impossible to ignore.

A tribute to history, projected into the future Pipistrello, designed by Gae Aulenti in 1965, has spanned six decades while always remaining contemporary. In this new White MATT guise, it renews its expressive power through a sensorial, minimalist, but deeply evocative language.

With the limited edition, Martinelli Luce not only pays homage to the past, but creates a bridge to the future, offering a new generation of design lovers the chance to own an icon reinterpreted with refinement.

Be seduced by an unrepeatable edition, celebrate the 60 years of Pipistrello

with a piece that tells the story of Italian design in all its purity and intensity.
