About the Item

Published in 2008, this is an exhibition catalogue from the Galerie Christine Diegoni which illustrates many of his most famous lighting designs. Sarfatti was the founder of the Italian lighting company "Arteluce", who created many iconic lamp designs in the 1940s, 1950s and 1960s. Hardback, 175 pages illustrated in colour with individual descriptions in English, also includes the last interview Sarfatti gave to Jean-Francois Gruneld in 1984 - the text for this is in English, French and Italian.
