Description
Franz T. Sartori “Domingo” floor lamp for Stillux, Steel, Italy, 1972
Franz T. Sartori’s “Domingo” floor lamp for Stillux, designed in 1972, stands as a striking example of the 1970s futuristic wave in lighting design. The lamp features a brushed steel cylindrical structure topped by four movable cylindrical diffusers. These modules can be aligned in a strict, linear configuration, producing a geometric and austere illumination, or horizontally rotated to form a dynamic, spiraling composition reminiscent of Escher’s helical forms. This versatility allows the lamp to transform its presence in space, shifting from static minimalism to a futuristic, dissolving silhouette that seems to pixelate into the ether.
Each cylindrical module diffuses light both upward and downward, creating a soft, multidirectional glow. The original floor switch ensures functionality without disrupting the lamp’s clean, modernist lines. Measuring 147 cm in height and 20 cm in diameter, the lamp is a compact yet impactful statement piece.
The “Domingo” lamp echoes the visionary spirit of Italo Primi’s “Fuga di settori circolari” (1969) and the sculptural elegance of Gio Ponti’s vases for Christofle (1950). Sartori’s design merges art and space, reflecting his background as a sculptor. Beyond lighting, Sartori collaborated with manufacturers like Flexform and Cristal Arte, crafting furniture and decorative objects defined by their geometric sophistication and refined materiality.
