Sale Pamono Model 595 Table Lamp attributed to Gino Sarfatti for Arteluce, Italy, 1961

The Sculptural and Adjustable Table Lamp Model 595, designed by Gino Sarfatti and manufactured by Arteluce in Italy in 1961, is an iconic piece that showcases mid-century modern lighting design. This elegant lamp features a black-painted aluminum guard reflector that swivels on a chrome-plated sleeve, allowing for versatile light direction. The flexible stem, made of chrome-plated brass, adds to its adjustability, enabling the lamp to be positioned in various configurations to suit different lighting needs. Its trumpet-shaped weighted solid metal base, finished with a black crackle lacquer, gives it a distinctive sculptural quality, while also providing a sturdy foundation. The lamp remains in very good original condition, showing only minor wear consistent with age and use, reflecting its durable craftsmanship. The Model 595 is designed to use an E14 bulb with a maximum of 40 watts, offering practical lighting for any space while embodying Sarfatti’s visionary approach to both form and function. This timeless piece exemplifies the modernist aesthetic and technical innovation that defined Sarfatti’s work with Arteluce. Literature; Gino Sarfatti 1938-1973 selected works, pages 325 + 438.
