Black Model 260 Ceiling or Wall lamp by Gino Sarfatti for Arteluce, 1960s

Model 260 ceiling or wall lamp, designed by Gino Sarfatti in 1968 and manufactured by Arteluce.

The reflector is fully adjustable and can swivel in all directions. The condition of this fixture is good, though it has some sign of wear and age.

The light bulb, a PAR 56 – 300 W, is suitable for 230 Volt. In countries with a different voltage, such as the US, a different light bulb must be installed. The PAR 56 light bulb is also an essential part of the design of the well-known Toio floor lamp by Achille and Pier Giacomo Castiglioni. This model is still produced by Flos.
