Tribute Collection / SB Cinquantotto
SB Cinquantotto is a design masterpiece that comes from afar and
brings the emotion of a family history into the contemporary world.
Designed in 1958 for Arteluce by the architects Carlo Santi and
Vittorio Borachia, the prototype of this perfect example of the finest
Italian manufacturing has for years embellished the Lake Como
home of Gino Sarfatti, founder of Arteluce and grandfather of Ales-
sandro, Astep’s founder. Recovered by Alessandro, who knew of
its design qualities and its manufacturing of excellence since he
was a child, it is re-proposed following the original design, like a
suspension in satin opal glass hand blown in Italy.
The timeless aesthetic of the thin diffuser, perfect for elegantly
illuminating any environment, meets the mounting system based
on the pattern generated by a black cable that runs freely next to
an almost transparent aluminum wire.
