Brass Capacio Floor Lamp by Fulvio Ferrari for Solka B, 1972

About the Item

Very rare floor lamp Capacio designed by Fulvio Ferrari for his own company Solka B. Capacio was produced in two versions: vitrified brass and chromed steel. This piece is in vitrified brass. Capacio was the second lamp Fulvio Ferrari ever designed. For this model Ferrari used already existing components which were used in other industries, like the pincers that are used in chemical laboratories. The lamp is in fairly good vintage condition.

Arteluce The lighting maker Arteluce was one of the companies at the heart of the creative explosion in postwar Italian design. The firm’s founder and guiding spirit, Gino Sarfatti (1912–85), was an incessant technical and stylistic innovator who almost single-handedly reinvented the chandelier as a modernist lighting form. Sarfatti attended the University of Genoa to study aeronautical engineering but was forced to drop out when his father’s company went out of business. His mechanical instincts led him to turn his attention to lighting design — and he founded Arteluce as a small workshop in Milan in 1939. Sarfatti’s father was a Jew, so the family fled to Switzerland in 1943, but after the war — largely thanks to Sarfatti’s insistence on the efficiency of design and manufacture — Arteluce quickly established itself as a top firm. Though Sarfatti continued as chief designer through the 1950s and ’60s, he also enlisted other designers such as Franco Albini and Massimo Vignelli to contribute work. Sarfatti sold Arteluce to FLOS — a rival Italian lighting maker — in 1973 and retired to pursue a more traditional avocation: collecting and dealing rare postage stamps...
