Minipipistrello by Martinelli Luce is a whimsical table lamp created by the Italian designer Gae Aulenti in 1965.

The subtle cheerfulness of the luminaire is just as at home on top of a sideboard, desk or nightstand, and Minipipistrello also makes a lovely window light. The height of the mini-sized, cordless Pipistrello lamp is 13.78 x 0 in (35 x cm. cm).
