His work has had a significant impact among the international collectors' scene, as shown by the fact that the broad choice of exhibited works comes from the collection of Clémence and Didier Krzentowski, from Paris' Galerie Kreo, while it was mostly overlooked in Italy. Among the contributors, the Archivio storico Flos has also made a substantial corpus of works available.
The exhibition is an opportunity to definitely consecrate Gino Sarfatti among the masters of Italian and international design, while simultaneously reviewing its pioneering works in lighting design. During his continuous, relentless activity from the end of the 1930s to the early 1970s, Gino Sarfatti developed, propelled by a strong innovative drive, more than 650 lighting projects, organising their manufacturing and distribution in the major international markets.
