"Gino Sarfatti (1912-1984) was a celebrated and beloved figure in Italian design from the 1930s on. Co-founder of the renowned interior design firm Arteluce with Maurizio Tempestini, Sarfatti was both a designer and an entrepreneur, who was at ease with every step of the production process, from conception to retail. With a fondness for spherical forms and long, arching stems, he designed desk lamps, spotlights, chandeliers and freestanding lamps; cubes that diffuse light in three directions; lightshades evocative of a woman's hat; he was also the first to use halogen lightbulbs. Surveying these and other works, Gino Sarfatti: Designing Light includes personal reminiscences of the designer and his career from Silvana Annicchiarico, Arturo Dell'Acqua Bellavitis, Claudio De Albertis, Manolo De Giorgi, Piero Gandini and Roberto Sarfatti."
