(English version at the bottom)
The Arteluce Le Sphere ceiling lamp, model 2042/9, is an iconic design by the Italian Gino Sarfatti from 1963. This fixture combines the designer's progressive vision with the high-quality production standards of the Italian manufacturer.
The fixture is crafted from white lacquered metal and features nine blown opaque glass spheres that provide a diffuse, atmospheric light distribution. The spheres can be positioned in two directions: upside or downside. The construction displays the characteristic attention to detail, with visible wiring forming an integral part of the design. The original Arteluce label is present, confirming the authenticity of this piece.
The lamp is in perfect condition, befitting its age and use. The original finish has been preserved and the fixture is fully functional.
This sculptural light object comes into its own perfectly in a modern or Mid-Century Modern interior. It forms a striking centerpiece in a living room, dining room, or spacious hallway.
Due to the fragility of this unique designer lighting, dismantling and on-site collection are recommended for the buyer (Belgium, Dendermonde = center point between Brussels/Antwerp/Ghent). Transport via courier is therefore not an option.
