The design of the small reflective cup is strongly influenced by the new halogen light bulb, which gino sarfatti explored and celebrated in model 1095 from both a functional and a dimensional perspective. Offering indirect light in a subtle design, the luminaire is made up of a tubular aluminium stem available in three different heights and painted slate grey. The small reflective cup with its thin shape is made of white-painted aluminium, and so is the base with the appealing soft shape and neat collar. In the reissue, the base covers the electronic devices instead of a transformer, and besides led lighting, the luminaire has also been upgraded with a liquid cooling system patented by flos. Gino sarfatti born in venice in 1912, gino sarfatti studied to become an aeronautical engineer until family circumstances compelled him to relocate to milan where he had his first encounter with lighting, an engineering project to transform a glass vase into a lamp. This encounter with lighting design and engineering shaped the path of his life. In 1939 gino sarfatti founded his company arteluce, which brought lighting into the 20th century combining innovative ideas with groundbreaking design.

His hybrid talent as a designer and engineer enabled him to created refined products in both aesthetics and function.
