Description

2097 chandelier

Flos presents 2097 as a suspension lamp by Gino Sarfatti, designed in 1958. The family comprises 2097/18, 2097/30, 2097/50 and 2097/75, whose model names correspond to 18, 30, 50 and 75 lights. Flos characterises the design as a contemporary chandelier that combines industrial components with a mid-century attitude.

Construction

The official 2097/30 listing specifies a central steel structure with brass arms. Each arm carries an exposed bulb, and the electrical wiring remains exposed. The ceiling fitting and rose are steel. The named finish choices are chrome-plated, matt black, matt white and brass.

2097/30 specification

The US listing identifies the selected 2097/30 as a suspension fixture for indoor dry locations, with bulb light sources and an E12 lamp holder. It lists incandescent and LED bulbs for that US configuration.

Story

Four light counts

Flos organises 2097 around four models: 2097/18, 2097/30, 2097/50 and 2097/75. The corresponding official model pages describe chandeliers composed of 18, 30, 50 and 75 lights.

Sarfatti's 1958 design

The official US listing credits Gino Sarfatti and dates 2097 to 1958. Flos describes the family through its industrial components, exposed bulbs and visible wiring, with the central structure and radiating arms providing the common construction across the documented 2097/30 configuration.
