Model 2065 Lamp by astep

The 2065 is made of two joined opaline methacrylate saucer-shaped diffusers suspended from the ceiling with a black painted aluminium canopy. The simplicity of the design and lightness of the materials makes for an elegant and free-floating luminaire.

The suspension lamp designed in 1950 emphasises the innovative, experimental approach of Gino Sarfatti. At that time, the favoured material of the lighting industry was glass. But when Gino Sarfatti received the first samples of methacrylate in 1949–50, a new polymer plastic that was much stronger and lighter than glass, his experiments led him to a new suspension lamp, Model 2065.

The Flos with Sarfatti collection is a tribute to Gino Sarfatti who designed over 600 lamps between 1939 and 1973. In 2013, Flos re-issued five carefully selected Gino Sarfatti luminaires with LED technology, bringing them into the present day without detracting anything from the original sophisticated designs.
