Flos Chandelier Gold Metal. Dimensions: Ø 100 x H 88 cm – Cable: L
330 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 shelves, black Bakelite mounts support the myriad of
frosted glass bulbs (50 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
