A Sarfatti Story
Like all good Italian tales, mine is also a family affair and draws from father to son.

My father, Riccardo Sarfatti, co-founder of Luceplan
In 1978 my father Riccardo went a step further. Together with my mother Sandra Severi and architect Paolo Rizzatto he created Luceplan, a company that tied together design and technological research.
Gino Sarfatti

My grandfather, Gino Sarfatti, founder of Arteluce
In 1939, Gino Sarfatti, my grandfather, took the first step by founding Arteluce, a company that pioneered the use of design in the lighting business.
What made good design in the past is what continues to inspire us every day.
