Gino Sarfatti, born in Venice in 1912, is widely regarded as one of Italy's most influential lighting designers. His company,Arteluce, founded in 1939 and later acquired byFlosin 1973, was a pioneer in experimenting with materials and form. Sarfatti’s visionary designs reshaped the landscape of Italian lighting, much asBottega Venetahas transformed the world of luxury craftsmanship with its dedication to artisanal excellence.

In this contemporary reinterpretation, the lamp retains Sarfatti’s pioneering spirit while incorporating modern LED technology for enhanced efficiency and nuanced lighting. This new technology allows for refined control over both warm, ambient light, and focused illumination.

The newModel 600is available in two sizes and a rich palette of colors, including classic black and grey, alongside bold red and emerald green, as well asBottega Veneta'ssignature shade of green. Each hue enhances the intricate leather craftsmanship that defines the base, allowing the lamp to serve as both a functional object and a statement of refined elegance.
