A major and essential figure in 20th-century lighting design, Gino Sarfatti created over 400 lighting designs during his career, revolutionizing the approach to lighting with unparalleled technical rigor and formal inventiveness. The Sankey lamp perfectly illustrates this philosophy: resting on an elegant fixed circular base, it features a movable tubular axis allowing it to be oriented for comfortable working. A functional, elegant, and timeless object, in the spirit of the great creations of Milan's golden age of design.
Cream brass structure and black plastic articulated arm, in a subtle and refined two-tone contrast. Original vintage piece, with its period Italian plug—a detail of authenticity appreciated by collectors. Good overall condition, with signs of wear consistent with its age; fully functional.
