Astep - Model 548
The table lamp designed in 1951 is a study in balance and light reflection through a screen, a recurring theme in Gino Sarfatti’s work. Model 548 provides both reflected and diffused light due to the adjustable spotlight that is directed up towards a reflecting screen.

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.
