Astep: Model 1095 floor lamp slate grey

Astep Model 1095 Floor Lamp.

Astep reintroduces the iconic floor lamp Model 1095 designed by Gino Sarfatti in 1968 in a reenginereered and reparable version true to it's original design.

The lamp is slender, graceful, and intruiging in it's disproportions between head ans base. The design of the small reflective cup was strongly influenced by the then new halogen light bulb, wich Gino Sarfatti explored and celebrated in Model 1095 from both a functional and dimensional perspective.

In this re-edition the lamp is now dimmable. Offering indirect light in a subtle design, the luminaire is made up of a tubular aluminium stem available in three different heights and painted slate grey. The small reflective cup with it's thin shape is made of white painted aluminium, and so is the base with the appealing soft shape.

In the re-issue, the base covers the electronic devices instead of a transformer, and besides LED lighting, the luminaire has also been upgraded with a liquid cooling system patented by Flos.

More:

Italian designer Gino Sarfatti (1912-1985) was a master of lighting design and founder of the lighting brand Arteluce. Sarfatti was born in Venice and moved to Genoa to study aeronautical engineering until he was forced to interrupt his studies in the late 1930s due to the war. Sarfatti founded Arteluce in Milan in 1939. In 1943, he and his family had to flee from Italy to Switzerland but returned after the war to Milan to reorganize Arteluce’s production. The 1950s was a golden era for Arteluce: in 1954, two of Sarfatti’s lamps were awarded the Grand Prix at Milan’s Triennale, and in the two following years his designs received the Compasso d’Oro award. In 1973, Sarfatti sold Arteluce to the Italian lighting manufacturer Flos who continues the production of Sarfatti’s design classics.
