&Tradition Herman SHY3 Table Lamp - Named after Herman Bang, the Herman lamp is a tribute to the notable Danish author's enduring artistic legacy and the way in which he led his life. Regarded as a trailblazer who shone a light on dimly lit issues society chose to ignore, Bang became a key figure in the Modern Breakthrough. Much like his stories, the Herman lamp offers a small beacon of light that has a literary quality to it.

Comprising a lounge chair, three-seater sofa, ottoman and floor lamp – all crafted from rattan – the Bohemian 72 Collection embodies Crespi’s career-long aim to create furniture that seamlessly unites indoor and outdoor living. She never allowed curtains or screens to block the natural flow of light or air and had what her daughter has described as ‘a deep sentiment for the cosmic energy of nature’.

The significant details of Miira are the fine curves and thin neck that gives a graceful apperance.xxxThe Miira Collection features mouth blown glass globe in Opal White.

Astep reintroduces a remarkable suspension light in handblown opal glass. For more than half a century, the SB Cinquantotto design has held a special place in the Sarfatti family, and now the time has come for the founder of Astep, Alessandro Sarfatti, to share its beauty. A characteristic shape, an original wire mounting and a timeless choice of materials make the SB Cinquantotto pendant from 1958 a true masterpiece for contemporary living.

In 1963, Franco Albini and Franca Helg started experimenting with plastics in lighting for Arteluce. Summoned by Gino Sarfatti to research the possibilities that new technologies and materials were providing, the two designers came up with a suspension lamp that summed up the two souls of the Arteluce brand: the love for glass, which they used for the opal diffuser, and the daring use of methacrylate, a (then new) lighter and more resistant material, perfect to interpret modernity by combining craftmanship and industry.

A timeless masterpiece of lightness and elegance, Model 2065 is the result of Gino Sarfatti’s desire to experiment with materials. Gino Sarfatti came across methacrylate samples between 1949 and 1950.
