Model 262 Wall Lamp
DESIGNED BY Gino Sarfatti
FOR Astep
The iconic masterpiece is a tribute to modernist design expressing Sarfatti’s inventive search for using light in its most honest and essential way.
Sarfatti’s talent as both a designer and engineer is evidently present in the design, enabling him to create a refined piece both aesthetically and functionally. The lamp – as a solitary piece or grouped – it is as much timeless art on any wall or ceiling as it is an imprint of pure function devised from thoughtful, explorational engineering.
The piece was already an innovative statement at its time, paired down to its core intention. Instead of a covered finish, the raw surface of the spun aluminum reflector channels the industrial process. The result is honest, provoking thought in its simplicity.
