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, the designer uses a spotlight that can be oriented towards a reflective
screen formed by the large diffuser in orange, blue or grey white methacrylate. The interaction
between spotlight and screen defines a sophisticated effect, poised between lighting and
perception. The spotlight in white painted aluminum 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.
In the re-edition, the original incandescent bulb was replaced by an LED source and an optical
dimmer switch was discretely integrated into the original design.
