Gino Sarfatti for Arteluce Chandelier mod. 2097/30, 60s
-
Description
One of the most significant figures in the world of Italian design of the second half of the 20th century was Gino Sarfatti.
Venetian by birth and Genoese by training, Sarfatti became Milanese in 1935, first collaborating with the lighting company Lumen and then founding Arteluce Società Anonima A.L. It was, however, the terrible period of racial laws and it was therefore necessary to wait until the end of the war for the company to begin full-scale production. In 1949, a factory was opened in Milan.
It was here that Sarfatti succeeded in interpreting the taste of its customers: if a lamp on display was requested, several pieces of that model were made, without creating prototypes and never exceeding a few dozen copies. The store then became the meeting place for a refined group of architects and decorators who would use Sarfatti's lighting in the furnishings of the Milanese bourgeoisie.
Here a chandelier mod. 2097/30 designed by Sarfatti in 1958 and produced by Arteluce, with structure in golden brass and black bakelite lamp holders.
