Model 1063 Floor Lamp

This stark, highly refined floor lamp was designed by Gino Sarfatti in 1954. It was a true avant-garde offering at the time and continues to complement even the most modern setting today. In Model 1063, Sarfatti strove to demonstrate the aesthetic value of a visible light source, the fluorescent tubular bulb. It was a highly progressive and innovative step forward that influenced lighting designers around the world.
Emitting direct or reflected light, the floor lamp is composed of a thin black or white-painted aluminium tube, which houses the light source. The aluminium base is balanced by an aluminium box, a rounded rectangular section that contains the power supply. The two parts are connected via two steel rods arranged in an unusual off-centre position that appears to estrange them from each other while at the same time lending the luminaire a sense of equilibrium.
