Description
For sale is an iconic and extremely rare orange 600P table lamp by GINO SARFATTI, designed in 1966 and produced by Arteluce of Italy.
Thanks to its lead-filled weighted pouch base, the lamp can be placed at any angle and the reflector shade can be rotated to direct light in any direction. Made of lacquered aluminium and synthetic leather, the light is in excellent overall condition, with some minor chips to the paintwork, but absolutely nothing to detract (see photos).
Gino Sarfatti’s 600P lamp is a masterpiece of mid-century Italian lighting design, embodying his signature blend of innovation, functionality, and sculptural elegance. Its minimalist yet expressive form exemplifies Sarfatti’s ability to create designs that feel both utilitarian and artistic. As with much of his work, the 600P showcases his pioneering use of new materials and lighting technologies, reinforcing his legacy as one of the most influential lighting designers of the 20th century. The ingenious design was intended as a lamp you could pack in a suitcase and take on holiday. Exhibited at the 14th Milan Triennale in 1968, the Model 600 was also exhibited at the 1972 "ITALY: THE NEW DOMESTIC LANDSCAPE" at MoMA in New York, the 1985 exhibition "LUMIERES JE PENSE À VOUS" at the Centre Pompidou in Paris and in 1986 the "ITALIA DISEÑO" exhibition at the Museo Rufino Tamayo in Mexico City. It is, amongst other Sarfatti gems, part of the permanent collection at MoMA, NY.
Gino Sarfatti wasn’t just a lighting designer — he was a technologist of elegance, the mind behind Arteluce, and the man who single-handedly changed how the modern world interacts with light. With over 600 radical designs to his name, Sarfatti fused his background in aeronautical engineering with a relentless curiosity for new materials and ideas, creating pieces that were decades ahead of their time. His work didn’t follow trends — it set them. From pioneering the use of halogen bulbs to inventing modular systems that could shape-shift with a space, Sarfatti’s lights weren’t just functional objects — they were instruments of atmosphere. Collectors today aren’t just buying a lamp — they’re acquiring a piece of post-war Italian innovation, an artefact of intellectual design, and a timeless expression of form meeting function at its most sublime. A true master of modern light, his legacy is as luminous as the fixtures he left behind.

Cancellations and Returns
Last updated: 24th March 2025
We want everybody’s Vinterior experience to be seamless, so both buyers and sellers can fall in love with pre-loved. We designed our Terms of sale to treat everybody fairly.
However, sometimes things don’t go exactly to plan, and you may need to cancel or return an order.
To prevent this, we encourage you to check listings, photos and descriptions carefully before you buy. If you aren’t sure about a piece’s condition, size, provenance or shipping, just ask; click Contact seller to get in touch. Always contact your seller first if you have any queries, at any point in your purchase.
Our buyers receive the same protection when buying from all our sellers, both professional and verified.
Can I cancel an order?
There are many reasons why you might need to cancel an order, and you'll often be entitled to a refund. To cancel an order, click Create cancellation on the order page.
If you cancel your order before it has been dispatched, you will receive a full refund - including delivery costs. However, if your item has been shipped, delivery costs will not be included in your refund.
Please note: orders of bespoke, personalised or made-to-order pieces cannot be cancelled.
Can I return an order?
We understand that sometimes a piece isn’t the perfect fit. So if you no longer want your order, our returns process will ensure it finds a new home fast.
The Vinterior Guarantee included with your purchase entitles you to 14-day returns - allowing you to return any item within 14 days of the delivery date (except in specific circumstances, detailed below).
You can return your order if...
It isn't what you expected
If what arrives isn’t what you ordered, you can open a return. Just send us some photo evidence that the listing was inaccurate, misleading or misrepresented your purchased piece, and you’ll receive a refund.
You change your mind
If you don’t feel a piece is right for your space, you can return it. Once you request a change of mind return, you’ll be responsible for shipping the piece back to your seller as soon as possible. Delivery costs are non-refundable.
It's damaged in transit
In the rare event that an item arrives damaged or defective, you have a full 30 days from the date of delivery to return it for a full refund.
If your purchase arrives broken, always let us know. If Proovia delivered the piece, we can raise an insurance claim on the seller’s behalf. Or, the seller can raise a claim with their chosen courier.
What can't I return?
Just as there are some orders you can’t cancel, there are some you cant return, too. Personalised, bespoke or made-to-order pieces are non-returnable, and non-refundable. Sellers may also reject your return if the item has been altered in any way.
Please note: pieces on our site are pre-loved, not new. They may show some wear and tear; this is not sufficient grounds for a refund, unless the seller has misrepresented the item’s condition.
Lastly, neither Vinterior nor our sellers are liable for any damages or loss sustained in transit via third parties.
I'm eligible for a return. Now what?
To initiate a return, log into your Vinterior account, then go to the relevant order page and click Create a return. In the return request, be sure to include all the details: the reason for your return, an in-depth description, and photos of any issues or damage.
How will I receive my refund?
Once the seller confirms they’ve received the item (in the same condition it was sent), we will send your refund to your original payment method.
All items are inspected on return. If the seller receives the return with damage they don’t recognise, we will not be able to process your refund and the seller may need to send the piece back to you. You will be required to cover these delivery costs.
