A sculptural study in minimalism and light. A striking and exceptionally minimalistic floor lamp, this model 1083 by gino sarfatti for arteluce (italy, 1962) is a masterclass in restraint, innovation, and material intelligence, hallmarks of sarfatti’s visionary approach to modern lighting. Not often seen on the market, this model exemplifies sarfatti’s ability to transform utilitarian function into poetic form. The minimalist structure features a sleek chrome-plated steel stem and arm, supported by a solid iron base in original black crackle paint, a signature arteluce finish that subtly evokes mid-century industrial elegance. The adjustable reflector is composed of a black sleeve and capped with a crown made from green methacrylate, which softly diffuses the light upward while focusing a sharp, downward beam, ideal for reading, accent lighting, or creating mood. Fully adjustable, the reflector can be precisely positioned to suit various settings, from refined residential interiors to gallery-like environments. The result is a lamp that is both visually understated and richly functional, offering a dynamic play of light and material. In very good original condition, the lamp retains its original ticino plug and features the arteluce sticker on the inner base — affirming its provenance.
