Rare 10-Arm Floor Lamp A Purist Masterpiece by Gino Sarfatti for Arteluce, 1950s
A stunning and exceptionally rare 10-arm mid-century modern floor lamp, exhibiting the absolute pinnacle of high-end Italian lighting engineering. This masterpiece is attributable to the genius of Gino Sarfatti for Arteluce. The design stands out for its extreme geometric rigor and avant-garde formal purity: this specific variant, natively designed without protective arches, celebrates the bare essence of the light source, turning the piece into a true kinetic and spatial sculpture.
The lamp is in outstanding, fully original and untampered vintage condition. The manufacturing quality perfectly reflects Sarfatti's signature "less is more" engineering philosophy, where exterior minimalism is matched by a radical structural reduction on the inside:
• Radical Engineering: The 10 slender metal arms screw directly into the heavy cast-iron base, completely eliminating any unnecessary hardware, locking nuts, or standard industrial joints. A triumph of pure functional efficiency and honesty of materials.
• Base Finish: The heavy base features its authentic, original black wrinkle ("raggrinzante") texture coat, a signature premium finish exclusively used by top-tier Milanese avant-garde design workshops of the era.
A timeless masterpiece of supreme visual power, tailored for discerning international collectors, prestigious galleries, or high-profile mid-century design investors.
• Condition: Excellent vintage condition, solid structure, fully original untampered components and wiring.
