Stunning and iconic ''Pipistrello'' floor or table lamp model 620, ca. 1970. All original. Rare as a vintage piece; these lamps are still available new but a 1970s one is more sought after by collectors and vintage lovers. This one comes from the first owners, an Italian family who used to run an icecreamparlour in Utrecht, the Netherlands.
This lamp has an impressive size and it lights up a whole room. The extraordinary design combines in classic as well as modern interiors. Great to combine with Dutch Art Deco as well, as illustrated with some of the pictures.
The lamp was designed around 1965 by Italian female artist Gae Aulenti who for this particular design took her inspiration from the appearance of a bat's shape and wings. It's a bold design, a real eye catcher, especially with the (4) lights on. It has a telescopic stem made of stainless steel. The height can be adjusted (height can be set anywhere from 66 to 85 cm) and the lamp can be used as a table or floor lamp. Condition is excellent regarding its age. It has no dents in the cream coloured base and no scratches. The lamp comes with the current new E14 Led bulbs.
