Arguably the crowning glory of Aulenti’s career, and the most famous symbol of her Neoliberty approach, was her elaborate renovation of the Musee d’Orsay. This led to further large-scale projects, such as the renovation of the Palazzo Grassi as an art museum in Venice, and designing a new space for the Pompidou in Paris – examples of her enormous legacy. She has been the recipient of numerous awards, including the Grand International Prize at the 1964 Milan Triennial and the Praemium Imperiale in 1991.
A cult design object, the Pipistrello lamp was created by Gae Aulenti in 1965. This Martinelli Luce lamp with its wave-shaped lampshade resembles a bat, which is what pipistrello means in Italian. It’s a table or floor lamp with diffused light.
This first edition remains in excellent vintage condition.
