This table lamp from 1951 shows how Gino Sarfatti explored balance and light reflection through a screen. Model 548 has a movable spotlight that shines on a reflecting screen, creating both reflected and diffused light. The big diffuser in orange, blue or white methacrylate makes a sophisticated light effect and adds to the illusion and the perception game. The spotlight in white aluminum sits on a tubular stem in shiny or dull brass, and a small brass bar at the base acts as a counterweight in the elegant balance of Model 548’s parts. In the new version, the old bulb is replaced by an LED, and an optical dimmer switch is hidden in the original design.
