Clem & the blue Pipistrello

The world continues to turn on this news. But my head spins twice as fast since the announcement. I thought, however, that my plan was fixed, certain, intangible. Then a blue Pipistrello made its appearance.

For a very long time, I had written in a corner of my head: for my 30 years I will be offered a Pipistrello. But the approaching thirties, I gained in wisdom. And I realized that this project had to be accompanied by a decoration worthy of of the lighting. Because yes, I love Gae Aulenti's lamp. But I appreciate it fully staged, that is to say, for me, laid directly on the floor, on a typical Parisian wooden flooring, in a corner of the living room, slightly offset from the sofa. Yes, the plan is kind of psychogenic. I have to admit it. Nevertheless, this is how my living room will be worthy of this iconic lighting.

In short, I am 30 years old and I still live in my Parisian tiny apartment with its "too new, without history" parquet. So my entourage understood it and my birthday gift was more the ones of a fashionista than the ones of a interior addict. The Pipistrello will wait for the new apartment. Moreover because a new color has just been revealed and it upsets all my plans.

I imagined it black and shiny, large (the original). Among all the colors: white, black, aluminum, copper and even the golden golden ones of its 50th birthday, I had made my choice. But Laurie Lumière now offers exclusively a blue Pipistrello blue. Inevitably, I love it so much.

I went to torture myself in the store Laurie Lumière in Pairs. I felt I had to choose between the timeless classic and the refreshing novelty. While I knew I would leave the store empty-handed. But my interior plans required an answer. Black or blue?

Finally, when I discovered it, there was no longer any doubt. The blue Pipistrello is marvelous. The color is a subtle blend of luminous gray and mild blue. In order to pursue this article, which does not turn so far around my little person, I would say that it is a Clem Around The Corner blue with a little more of gray but the brilliant aspect of the finish makes it just as bright.

"This color is the idea of ​​blue jeans, the garment that everyone has and keeps without getting tired. "

So if tomorrow I win the Powerball USA, I buy a nice apartment and go back in store or directly on the website of Laurie Lumière to acquire this little beauty. Meanwhile, if you want the lamp Martinelli Luce x Laurie Lumière you need to know that the fruit of this collaboration is only available in 200 copies, numbered and therefore collector.

For my part, I'll just try to get lucky at the Powerball. Please cross your fingers for me.
