2097 - a chandelier for the future?If you look at the chandelier 2097, at first glance you probably do not get the idea that the design for this slightly futuristic-looking lighting object comes from the year 1958. Much more likely, you would date it to the year 2097 - according to its name. However, the Italian engineer and designer Gino Sarfatti (1912 - 1984) certainly already had the future in mind with this reduction of the magnificent, classic chandelier. The rudimentary characteristics of a chandelier - as chandeliers are also often called - are still present, but in a very puristic form. 50 curved arms are attached to the core of the chandelier by crossbars. At the end of each arm sits a small light source in the form of E14 bulbs. Gino Sarfatti is one of the veteran designers of the Italian manufacturer FLOS. In his thirty-year career as a designer, Sarfatti has designed over 400 lamps.
