Designed by Le Corbusier
In 1952, on the shores of the French Riviera, Le Corbusier built ‘Cabanon’: the absolute archetype of essential living. The project, executed according to the rules of the Modulor, is found just a stone?s throw away from the sea and served as a refuge for the architect in his final years. Lampe Cabanon, named after the inspired microcosm, represents a symbol of architecture, design, production, and essential living. The lampshade, made from tracing paper that the architect used, was crafted from a wartime artifact ? a mortar shell carrier ? found on French beaches. The lamp, for which numerous sketches and designs exist, represents a moment of rebirth in the post-war world.

In August 1970, Bertrand Balas designed the lamp Here Comes the Sun. At first glance, this original design is like all the other lamps that get called an ?Original?. But once lit, the Here Comes the Sun hanging lamp takes on a magical quality. Darkness looses its rawness and metamorphoses into something reassuring.

If Pipistrello has succeeded up until now in remaining always current and fascinating, it is not just thanks to its style and the design ingenuity of Gae Aulenti. Merit also goes to the company?s desire to dare and to re-propose it in different colors, dimensions and uses to better answer a continuously evolving market.
