Gino Sarfatti conceived the 2097 in 1958 as a deliberate act of reduction. Where the traditional chandelier accumulated crystal, ornament, and ceremony, Sarfatti stripped the form to its core: a central body, radiating arms, and the bare bulb as both light source and visual subject. The 2097/18 extends this logic across eighteen arms, each terminated with a clear bulb that broadcasts light in every direction without shade or diffuser. Nothing is hidden. The structure itself is the aesthetic statement. Steel armature with 18 radiating arms Available in brass, chrome, and matte black Each finish shifts the fixture's atmosphere: brass reads warm and ceremonial, chrome cool and architectural, matte black graphic and precise UL-listed for the North American market Produced by Flos, the 2097/18 carries the silhouette of something grand while refusing every gesture of excess. It is a fixture that has earned its place in the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art, and it remains one of the most referenced pendant forms in postwar Italian design. Show more
