THE BIG TREE OF GINO SARFATTI . FREAK HANSEN


Estimados amigos , Gino Sarfatti, director en jefe de la casa Arredoluce, sencillamente es un genio.
Pocos diseñadores cuentan en su haber una cantidad de piezas producidas y ejecutadas como las que llego a realizar este gran maestro.
Esta bella lampara de mesa, se produjo en dos versiones, una con el pie en latón, y una segunda con pie de mármol que es la versión mas difícil de conseguir.
Esta belleza ya esta a sus ordenes en FH.

During his thirty years of activity, Gino Sarfatti designed and produced over 400 luminaires and carried out non-stop research into innovation as regards typology, materials, production technologies, light sources, technical lighting effects and design aspects.
In the course of their work, Gino Sarfatti and Arteluce won numerous prizes and awards including the Compasso d'Oro in 1954 and 1955, and the Honorary Diploma of the Milan Triennale.
Arteluce was also a meeting place and an important forum for many of the leading Italian designers in the 50s and 60s. The following worked with Arteluce: F. Albini - F. Helg, C. Belgioioso - Peressuti - E. Rogers, GF Frattini, V. Viganò, S. Asti, V. Latis, C. Santi, M. Vignelli, I. Parisi, U. Gregotti - L. Meneghetti - G. Stoppino, M. Huber.
The prestigious Arteluce shop in Corso Matteotti was designed with M. Zanuso in 1951 followed, 10 years later, by the shop in Via della Spiga designed with V. Viganò, a lifelong friend.
Gino Sarfatti died at Gravedona in 1984. text by IDEA
