Model 2065 Wall Light

Designer: Gino Sarfatti
Design year: 1950/2016

The design’s simplicity and the lightness of the materials create a graceful and airy light fixture. The Model 2065 wall light is made of two joined opaline methacrylate saucer-shaped diffusers, perched upon an elegantly curved wall-mount tube structure. The lamp comes in two versions: one intended for in-wall wiring, whereas the other is fitted with a cable and dimmer to be plugged into a standard wall socket.

The diffusers are made of Green Cast®, a 100% recycled and recyclable PMMA (polymethyl methacrylate) - patented and made in Italy - that has exactly the same aesthetic and functional quality of original methacrylate.

Alessandro Sarfatti, inspired by his father's belief in perpetual progress, founded Astep, a company intertwining three generations of design ethos with modern lighting technology. With a rich family history in design, Alessandro's grandfather, Gino Sarfatti, revolutionized the lighting industry through Arteluce. His father, Riccardo, alongside his mother Sandra Severi, further innovated by blending design and technology with Luceplan. Astep creates new products for the home – objects that bring digital technologies to the forefront of our domestic lives. In addition, Astep revitalizes iconic works of Gino Sarfatti and Vittoriano Viganò, carrying on the Sarfatti family's enduring avant-garde spirit.

Gino Sarfatti is one of the most significant figures in the history of Italian industrial design. Throughout his career he developed more than 700 luminaires as the creative engine behind Arteluce, the company he founded in 1939 which brought premier lighting into the 20th century combining innovative ideas with groundbreaking design.
