Le Sfere di Gino Sarfatti is inspired by the perfect light and natural poetry of the Moon. It is reintroduced by Astep as the latest addition to the collection Flos with Sarfatti – a tribute to the great Italian master of light, created in collaboration between Astep and Flos.
Le Sfere features a simple, yet elegant principle in which a blown opaline glass sphere is held in place by a painted aluminium ring in a refined embrace that lends the luminaire a graphic expression. The various models of the collection have developed over time, from the first single sphere, Model 237, to the iconic twenty-four-sphere chandelier, Model 2109 – the exact two models that are now presented by Astep.
In 1959, Le Sfere was launched in a solar system of its own, revolving around a single luminous sphere. Le Sfere features a simple, yet elegant principle in which a blown opaline glass sphere is held in place by a painted aluminium ring. A refined embrace that lends the luminaire a graphic expression and brings forth its distinctive aesthetic.
To Gino Sarfatti, Le Sfere was a multifaceted, open-minded luminaire system, suitable for illuminating all kinds of spaces with its ambient moonlight, from a modest corridor to exclusive private and commercial settings.
Gino Sarfatti gradually expanded the collection to fit larger commissioned projects. Among them is the famous Teatro Regio in Turin, Italy, where Le Sfere can still be seen in a variety of compositions, including cascades and columns, that emphasise the genius and beauty of the chandelier system.
