Price : £2150

Designer : Gino Sarfatti

For sale are a pair of iconic and extremely rare orange 600P table lamps by GINO SARFATTI, designed in 1966 and produced by Arteluce of Italy.

Thanks to their lead-filled weighted pouch bases, the lamps can be placed at any angle and the reflector shades can be rotated to direct light in any direction. Made of orange synthetic leather & lacquered aluminium, the lights are in good overall condition despite some chips to the paintwork on the shade of one of the lamps in particular (see photos).

This ingenious design was intended as a lamp you could pack in a suitcase and take on holiday. Exhibited at the 14th Milan Triennale in 1968, the Model 600 was also exhibited at the 1972 “Italy: The New Domestic Landscape” at MoMA in New York, the 1985 exhibition “Lumieres je pense à vous” at the Centre Pompidou in Paris and in 1986 the “Italia diseño” exhibition at the Museo Rufino Tamayo in Mexico City. It is, amongst others, part of the permanent collection of MoMA in New York.
