Supported by a round brass fitting on a marble base, this floor lamp is composed of a rotative brass stem that simply rests on a marble sphere used as a centre of gravity. A second sphere, in polished brass, serves as a counterweight to adjust the lamp to any required height. Designed by Gino Sarfatti between 1946 and 1948, this elegant floor lamp depicts the designer’s search for subtle originality and engineering prowess.
Engineer Gino Sarfatti founded the modern lighting design company Arteluce in 1939. As a true innovator, he was also a very prolific designer who created iconic pieces while experimenting new materials and production techniques.
