Model 2065 Pendant
DESIGNED BY Gino Sarfatti
FOR Astep
The suspension lamp designed in 1950 by Gino Sarfatti emphasises the innovative, experimentation of a new plastic at the time, methacrylate, in a beautiful and elliptical form.
Model 2065 consists of a diffuser made of two joined opalescent saucers, suspended from the ceiling with a black-painted aluminium canopy. The simplicity of Gino Sarfatti’s elliptical design and the lightness of the materials make for a seemingly weightless luminaire.
The luminaire was relaunched by Astep in 2016, which also introduced a black version where the upper saucer is finished with a soft-touch coating. This leaves the lower diffuser as the only light source, creating a more intimate light space and a strong, graphic expression. In a continuation of the original idea, five LED bulbs provide the lighting in both versions.
