Description

The table lamp from 1951, known as Model 548 by Gino Sarfatti, is a remarkable testament to his exploration of balance and light reflection through innovative design. This iconic piece showcases Sarfatti’s keen understanding of how light can be manipulated to create both functional and artistic effects. At its core, Model 548 features a movable spotlight that can be directed towards a reflecting screen. This ingenious design element allows for the manipulation of light, resulting in a combination of reflected and diffused illumination. The lamp’s large diffuser, available in striking orange, blue, or white methacrylate, adds a layer of sophistication to the lighting effect, contributing to an intriguing play of illusion and perception. The spotlight itself is crafted from white aluminum and is perched on a tubular stem made of either shiny or dull brass. What adds to the lamp’s aesthetic charm is a small brass bar positioned at the base, serving as a counterweight. This elegant balance of components in Model 548 exemplifies Sarfatti’s meticulous attention to detail and craftsmanship.

In a modern reinterpretation, this classic lamp has been updated with contemporary technology. The traditional bulb has been replaced with an energy-efficient LED, aligning with current sustainability standards. Additionally, an optical dimmer switch, cleverly hidden within the lamp’s original design, allows for convenient control of the light intensity, offering both functionality and aesthetics. This timeless piece, with its blend of vintage charm and modern innovation, stands as a testament to Gino Sarfatti’s enduring legacy in the world of lighting design.
