Re-lighting
“Re-lighting” Gino Sarfatti, or rather bringing his work back to light, appeared to FLOS as a fitting and captivating challenge. It is fitting because Sarfatti was probably the greatest Italian lighting designer. Active between 1939 and 1973, Sarfatti renovated and updated traditional typologies and invented new functions for light, designing more than 600 lamps and light fittings, which were all produced. This legacy posed a responsibility that could no longer be left on the shelf.
“Re-lighting” Sarfatti, however, represented a fascinating challenge. Detracting nothing from the integrity of the lamps’ original forms, it was essential to bring these objects into the present day. “Re-lighting” them meant adopting latest generation cutting-edge LED technology, which had to be introduced with sophistication, without being invasive. Today, the first selection of lamps designed by Gino Sarfatti make their return to light up our homes and, in so doing, tell us something about this inspirational designer.
