Flos Pendant Grey/Silver/Metal Metal. Dimensions: Ø 69 x H 51 cm –
Cable: L 280 cm max.. The Italian, Gino Sarfatti (1912 – 1985) is one of the
greatest light designers of the 20th century. Founder of the famous
„Arteluce“ light company, he was one of the first designers to take an
interest in new lighting functions. Sarfatti has done away with the boundaries
between the practical and decorative aspect of lights, creating, as such, new
types of lights. Created in 1958, the 2097 pendant from Gino Sarfatti is an
iconic piece of 20th century design. This light revisits traditional chandeliers
to offer an original, ultra-modern shape. The 2097 pendant offers the perfect
balance between the emphasis of traditional baroque chandeliers and the
minimalist style of the 50s, embellished with a touch of industrial aesthetics.
The metal structure is made up of multiple spokes of different lengths, placed
around a large central cylinder. On the end of the spokes, black Bakelite mounts
support the myriad of frosted glass bulbs (18 LED bulbs included). Sarfatti
made an aesthetic choice that was daring for the period: unlike traditional
chandeliers, he decided to leave electrical wires and Bakelite mounts showing.
The clean metal structure is therefore covered in cables which create an
aesthetic jumble in the space. The cables appear to evolve and grow like
creepers, giving the light an organic aspect. A prolific designer, Sarfatti
designed over 600 lamp models. All throughout his career, he has sought to use
new materials, create new forms and design new lighting technologies. Still in
production today, this iconic light from Sarfatti has still got its modern
touch. This large chandelier draws the gaze and majestically decorates large
spaces.> Flash sale: special price for a limited time only.
