Astep

Astep is the third lighting company founded by the Sarfatti family. Alessandro Sarfatti started it in 2014 to bring back his grandfather Gino’s Arteluce designs with today’s technology, and to commission new pieces worthy of sitting beside them.

The designers

Gino Sarfatti and the new guard

Gino Sarfatti founded Arteluce in Milan in 1939 and designed hundreds of lamps that defined Italian modern lighting, among them the Model 2109 chandelier, the Model 537 table lamp and the 237 and 238 wall lights.

Astep reissues these from the original drawings and adds work by designers such as Vittoriano Viganò, Luca Nichetto, David Thulstrup and Alfredo Häberli.

A family legacy, re-engineered

Each reissue keeps the original proportions and materials while updating the light source and wiring, so a 1950s design performs like a new one.
