Literature Andrea Branzi and Michele De Lucchi eds., Il Design Italiano Delgli Anni ’50, Milan, 1985, p. 223; Giuliana Gramigna Repertorio 1950/1980, Milan, 1985, p. 79; Penny Sparke, Italian Design: 1870 to the Present, London, 1988, p. 99; Museu do Design: Luxo, Pop, Cool, De 1937 Até Hoje, exh. cat., Museu do Design, Lisbon, 1999, pl. 24 Artist Bio Gino Sarfatti Italian • 1912 - 1985 Rising above the devastation of World War II, post-war Italian design reached new heights of productivity and ingenuity, particularly in the realm of lighting. Gino Sarfatti is among the most celebrated lighting designers from this fruitful period. Before founding his company Arteluce in 1939, Sarfatti studied aeronautical engineering. He brought the inventiveness of a self-taught outsider to the field of lighting design, while his mechanical background lent lightness and ingenuity of construction. Poetic underpinnings are also evident in lamps such as model no. 1034 (sometimes referred to as the "Vine" lamp), which features a nearly 8' twisting brass stem graced with nine delicate, articulating white shades like buds on a flower.
