This table lamp from 1951 shows how Gino Sarfatti explored balance and light reflection through a screen. Model 548 has a movable spotlight that shines on a reflecting screen, creating both reflected and diffused light. The big diffuser in orange, blue or white methacrylate makes a sophisticated light effect and adds to the illusion and the perception game. The spotlight in white aluminum sits on a tubular stem in shiny or dull brass, and a small brass bar at the base acts as a counterweight in the elegant balance of Model 548 s parts. In the new version, the old bulb is replaced by an LED, and an optical dimmer switch is hidden in the original design.
