Specialist note
The bold functionalism and pioneering utilisation of fluorescent tube lighting ensured that Gino Sarfatti’s 1063 floor lamp was rewarded with the prestigious Compasso d’Oro award at the Milan Triennale of 1954. The domed canopy to the transformer box of this example, finished in a monochrome palette of black, white and grey, confirms this example as being of early production.
