The Model 2065 pendant lamp, designed by Gino Sarfatti in 1950, marks a significant turning point in lighting development. While glass was the predominant material at the time, Sarfatti recognized the potential of a new polymer plastic as early as 1949, which he first saw as a sample. This material impressed with its high robustness and low weight, making the construction lighter and more durable. With the Model 2065, Sarfatti created not only an aesthetically sophisticated but also a functionally advanced object that expanded the possibilities of lighting technology of its era. His innovative choice of materials and clear design make the pendant lamp an iconic example of successful use of form and material to this day.
