Bottega Veneta Recreates Model 600 Lamp

Luxury brand Bottega Veneta has teamed up with Italian lighting specialists Flos to recreate Gino Sarfatti’s iconic Model 600 table lamp. Designed in 1966 a bouncy interwoven leather base covers the bottom part of the reinterpreted Flos lamp, so it can tilt or tumble in any direction without completely falling.

The use of leather isn’t new to the Flos lamp because Gino Sarfatti applied it to his original design. This time, Bottega Veneta brings over their signature Intrecciato (interwoven) and in Intreccio Foulard editions for the collaboration, adding their own flair to the Model 600 lighting design.

The original design of Gino Sarfatti has a shield surrounding the bulb, and the fashion house and lighting brand maintain this, but with a more-curved, trowel-like reflector. It projects the beam in a certain direction, all the while spreading it out upwards for more ambient lighting. With this design, the user may be able to swivel the lighting away from them and reduce the intensity of the brightness manually.

The Bottega Veneta and Flos lamp comes with the most recent LED technology for the light bulb. The teams manage to shape it to the original one Gino Sarfatti used. The lighting design is ideal for both floor or table use, and potentially wherever the user wants to place it. There are small and large versions of the lamp, and it is available in black, grey, red, emerald green, and signature Bottega Veneta green. For the recreated lamp, Bottega Veneta and Flos pay homage to Gino Sarfatti’s work and pull it off as they retain and reimagine some of his native visual elements.
