The Model 537 table lamp is an outstanding luminaire that displays the virtuosity of Gino Sarfatti. The celebrated Italian master of light created Model 537 around 1950, and the elegant masterpiece is now reintroduced by Astep as part of the prestigious Flos with Sarfatti collection.
In its refined simplicity, Model 537 stands out owing to the combination of rich materials and ingenious, playful design. The large aluminium reflector in black or white is mounted asymmetrically on a brass stem, which is carefully twisted in a beautiful balancing act, coming to rest on an elegant marble base.
As a vital part of the design, the stem reaches out through the reflector and beyond in a backward motion, giving the top of the stem a dual function as playful feature and practical handle.
