Each ring has a small cut, enabling the spheres to be placed facing downward or upward and thus providing a direct or indirect light composition. Model 237/2 features two 14cm diameter spheres. Le sfere 1959-2018 throughout his life, the sky served as a muse for lighting master gino sarfatti. He was fascinated by the perfect light emitted by the moon, and one of gino sarfatti’s most brilliant designs is inspired by the natural poetry of the luminous satellite. 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 aluminum ring. A refined embrace that lends the luminaire a graphic expression and brings forth its distinctive aesthetic. The le sfere collection is 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. The collection was gradually expanded 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 emphasize the genius and beauty of the system. The le sfere collection is the largest product family by gino sarfatti with models that have developed over time, from the first single sphere, model 237, to the iconic twenty-four-sphere chandelier. All created from the same fundamental principle: a beautiful interpretation of the perfect luminous sphere.
