its unconventional construction combines a cylindrical body in black lacquered metal with a weighted spherical base covered in black leatherette. Rather than relying on articulated joints or mechanical adjustments, the lamp uses the balance of its base to allow the light source to be positioned at different angles.

this ingenious solution reflects sarfatti's experimental approach to lighting design, in which technical innovation and functional simplicity become essential elements of the object's aesthetic identity.

the contrast between the rigid metal cylinder and the tactile spherical base creates a restrained sculptural composition. The exposed bulb further emphasizes the clarity of the design.

this example is preserved in very good vintage condition, with minimal signs of age and use.
