The light was a collaboration between two of Italy's greatest designers, Gino Sarfatti and Archimede Seguso. Gino Sarfatti was one of the most important Italian Industrial designers, born in 1912, who designed over 700 lights over his long career, the majority of which were through his company Arteluce, which he founded in 1939. Arteluce was later purchased by Flos after his death in 1985 The Seguso glass foundry is one of the oldest and most historical glass manufacturers on the island of Murano, dating back to 1397. It is also one of the largest glass furnaces on Murano. Glass made by the Seguso furnace can be found in over 75 museums worldwide, such as MOMA in New York and the Victoria and Albert Museum in London.
