Lighting conceived as a sophisticated game of screens, in perfect
balance between direct and indirect light. Gino Sarfatti designed
the Model 548 in 1951 giving vent to one of the themes that were
most dear and congenial to him.
For this table lamp, he used a spotlight that can be oriented to wards
a reflective screen formed by the large diffuser in methacrylate. The
interaction between spotlight and screen defines a sophisticated
effect, poised be tween lighting and perception. The spotlight in
white painted alu minum is mounted on a tubular stem in polished
or burnished brass, while a small brass bar at the base acts as a
counterweight in the beautiful balancing of the individual elements.
The re-edition is reparable, and the original incandescent bulb has
been replaced by an LED source and an optical dimmer switch is
discretely integrated into the original design.
