Gino Sarfatti Lamp Model 1095

Model 1095Design by Gino SarfattiThe floor lamp designed in 1968 is slender, graceful and intriguing in its disproportions between head and base. The design of the small reflective cup is strongly influenced by the new halogen light bulb, which Gino Sarfatti explored and celebrated in Model 1095 from both a functional and a dimensional perspective.Offering indirect light in a subtle design, the Luminaire is made up of a tubular aluminium stem available in three different heights and painted slate grey. The small reflective cup with its thin shape is made of white-painted aluminium, and so is the base with the appealing soft shape and neat collar.In the re-issue, the base covers the electronic devices instead of a transformer, and besides LED lighting, the Luminaire has also been upgraded with a water cooling system patented by Flos.Timeless innovation 1968-2013This floor lamp, designed in 1968, is slender, graceful and intriguing in its disproportions between head and base.

This encounter with lighting design and engineering shaped the path of his life. In 1939 Gino Sarfatti founded his company Arteluce, which brought lighting into the 20th century combining innovative ideas with groundbreaking design.Arteluce won numerous prizes and awards including the Compasso d’Oro in 1954 and 1955, and the Honorary Diploma of the Milan Triennale, becoming an important meeting place for many leading Italian architects throughout the 1950s and 1960s. The first Milanese Arteluce retail space was designed with Marco Zanuso in 1951. Ten years later Gino Sarfatti and his lifelong friend Vittoriano Viganò designed their flagship location on Via della Spiga.Throughout his career, Gino Sarfatti explored and was inspired by new product typologies, innovative materials, lighting technologies, and production techniques. His hybrid talent as a designer and engineer enabled him to created refined products in both aesthetics and function.Gino Sarfatti was a significant figure in the history of Italian industrial design, developing more than 700 luminaires. In 1973 he retired on Lake Como, with Flos acquiring Arteluce and their expansive catalog.Gino Sarfatti died at Gravedona in 1985.
