Gino Sarfatti for ARTELUCE. Pair of Italian sconces Mod.283/3

Creator: Gino Sarfatti
Offered by: Vintage Domus Srl

Description
A rare and sophisticated pair of three-light wall lamps, Model 238/3, designed by the renowned Gino Sarfatti for Arteluce in the 1950s-60s. These exceptional pieces perfectly embody the elegance and innovation of mid-century Italian design, reflecting Sarfatti's visionary approach to lighting, where form, function, and aesthetics seamlessly converge.

Each lamp features a painted metal structure, defined by clean, soft lines that enhance its minimalist yet highly refined aesthetic. Unlike the more common taller models with only two glass spheres, this version stands out for its rare three-light configuration, making it a highly desirable piece among collectors and design enthusiasts. The three white satin glass globes, delicately enclosing the light sources, diffuse a soft, warm glow, creating a welcoming and sophisticated ambiance.
The balanced geometric composition and carefully proportioned design reflect the essence of 1950s-60s Italian modernism, where simplicity meets architectural precision. Gino Sarfatti, one of the most influential lighting designers of the 20th century, was known for his pioneering use of materials and technical innovations, and this model is a perfect example of his mastery in transforming lighting into an element of elegant functionality.

Preserved in original condition, this pair of wall lamps is a testament to the superior craftsmanship of Arteluce, a brand synonymous with excellence in Italian lighting design. Their timeless aesthetic makes them ideal for modern interiors, whether placed in a luxurious living room, an elegant hallway, or a refined office space. With their rare configuration and exceptional design, these lamps are not only stunning lighting fixtures but also coveted collector's items, adding a touch of architectural sophistication and historical value to any environment.
