Gino Sarfatti Design Philosophy
FLOS Designer Profile

Gino Sarfatti

"I work with light, not with lamps."

Gino Sarfatti

The Vision

Gino Sarfatti didn't study design; he studied aeronaval engineering. This background defined his approach to Arteluce, the company he founded in 1939. He treated the light bulb not as a decoration, but as a technical component to be celebrated. His '2097' chandelier is a brutalist masterpiece, exposing the wires and sockets that others tried to hide, creating a modern industrial aesthetic that remains radical over 60 years later.
