Astep Sorpresa is Samuel Wilkinson's pendant light, made by Astep.
The Design Story
Samuel Wilkinson took a traditional wool winder as his starting point. Sorpresa folds flat and opens into a 39-inch chandelier in one movement, with a sanded oak frame and a recycled mesh fabric diffuser.
Why You'll Love It
It is big without being heavy: under 5 lb for nearly 40 inches of soft, warm light. The oak and mesh feel natural rather than decorative, and an LED bulb is included.
Made for Real Life
Wired at 120 V AC for North American homes. 1 × E27 socket, 20 W max; LED bulb included (11 W, 540 lumens, 2700K).
