lire le livre Gino Sarfatti : Opere scelte 1938-1973 . Edition bilingue anglais-italien.

Gino Sarfatti (Venice, 1912 - Gravedona, 1985) was one of the leading lighting designers of the twentieth century. Between 1938 and 1973 he designed a number of remarkable lighting units (more than 600), inventing new types and functions. Sarfatti can be defined as both a "pioneer" and a "master" of Italian design, but so far his work has not received adequate attention from the official annals of history. This volume, compiled from the materials preserved in the "Riccardo and Sandra Sarfatti" Archive in Milan, accompanied by a detailed critical interpretation, 86 technical charts and a list of the main works, aims to comprehensively tell, for the first time, the story of Gino Sarfatti, the man and the designer.
