Rare set of 1071 floor lamp set designed by Gino Sarfatti and manufactured by Arteluce in 1956. This lamp is maybe one the icons designed by Sarfatti. It certainly was one of the longest-running lamps that he designed. It stayed in the Arteluce catalogue from 1956 to 1974, thanks to updated versions with slightly different names. Perhaps the most characteristic part of the lamp is the base. The lamp, or better, the lamps are designed to fit into each other like pieces of a puzzle through a special, patented concept of aggregate bases. The base has a crackle painted surface. The lamps are fully restored and in excellent condition. Kindly note that the listed price is for the set of 3 lamps.
Literature; Gino Sarfatti 1938-1973 selected works and Arteluce catalogue.
Gino Sarfatti – born in Venice in 1912 and with an educational background in engineering – started designing lamps and founded the company ‘Arteluce’ (the art of lighting) in 1939. Arteluce quickly established itself as a leading actor in shaping the modern Italian architectural movement and became a meeting place and hub for many of the leading Italian mid-century designers, including Franco Albini, Gianfranco Frattini, Sergio Asti and Ico Parisi for example.
Sarfatti designed over 400 lighting products and made a significant contribution to innovating lighting design by experimenting with new materials, production methodologies and light sources. In 1951, he first began to work with plexi-glass. Gino Sarfatti was the first to design a lamp that uses halogen bulbs back in 1971. Sarfatti and Arteluce received several design awards including e.g., the prestigious Compasso d’Oro in 1954 and 1955, and the Honorary Diploma at the Milan Triennale. Arteluce was sold to Flos in 1973 and took over production of many lights.
These lamps are checked in our own atelier, cleaned and are also suitable for use in the USA. For US usage we could change the plug, or you can get a converter if needed for a floor or table lamp with transformer in it.
