A timeless masterpiece of lightness and elegance, Model 2065
is the result of Gino Sarfatti’s desire to experiment with materials.
Gino Sarfatti came across methacrylate samples between 1949
and 1950. This convinced him to create a suspension lamp with
this plastic polymer which is much lighter and more resistant than
glass. The 2021 version adds to these features in terms of sustain-
ability: it is made of Green Cast®, a 100% recycled and recyclable
PMMA (polymethyl methacrylate) — patented and made in Italy —
that has exactly the same aesthetic and functional quality of the
original methacrylate. Model 2065 consists of a diffuser made up
of two opalescent plates joined and suspended from the ceiling
with a black painted aluminum rosette. A simple design played
on the elliptical shape and the lightness of the materials which,
together, seem to give life to a weightless creation.
The lamp was relaunched by Astep in 2016 in also a second black
version, in which the upper plate is finished with a soft-touch
coating with a strong graphic expression. Five E14LED bulbs
provide illumination in all versions of the lamp.
