Astep's designers

Astep collaborates with many experienced and recognised designers to gather innovation and new ideas within a single brand. Astep sells their traditional designs, created by founder Gino Sarfatti but in recent times, they have worked with modern and functional lighting solutions. As an example, designer Francisco Gomez Paz has created the lantern Candela with built-in LED which is driven by the flame in the middle of the lamp. Furthermore, you can charge your phone with a USB port in the base. All without wires or batteries. Alfredo Häberli from Argentina has created the top model Nox which is a chargeable table lamp that uses the technology of wireless charging. The lamp can be removed from the base and transported around - and the battery lasts for up to 15 hours light.
Astep’s designers are all internationally recognised and between them they have won numerous awards for their work. Only absolute perfection is good enough for Astep and functionality takes prime place. Nice clean lines are combined with clever modern solutions in this Italian design.
Do check out the VV Cinquanta collection which is also a recreated colletion from Vittoriano Viganó who designed it back in the 1950s. Here you get ultimate elegance and functionality in neat brass details.

The story behind Astep and Arteluce

Astep has a long and rich story and even though the company has changed names over time, Alessandro Sarfatti maintains his family's traditions in all aspects. When Gino Sarfatti founded Arteluce in 1939, the mission was to bring design to lighting products for the first time. This brought him great success and in 1978, the son, Riccardo, took over. Working with architect Paolo Rizzatto, he brought the company in to the technological age. Riccardo's vision was to collaborate with the most skilled and specialised craftsmen of the industry to create true quality and secure future innovation. Riccardo’s son and the current owner, Alessandro Sarfatti, respects his father's vision and carries it on into the 21st century. Astep creates innovative and beautiful lamps that combine the new and the old in a timeless fusion. Furthermore, they set themselves apart through sustainability and close collaborations with their suppliers. Lately, Astep has collaborated with recognised brand Flos to re-create Gino Sarfatti's brilliant creations in the collection Flos with Sarfatti which you can find on this page.
