Astep Model 2042/3 Ceiling Lamp

Discover the timeless elegance and exceptional design of the Astep Model 2042/3 Ceiling Lamp. Originally designed in 1956 by the legendary Gino Sarfatti, this ceiling lamp exemplifies a minimalist yet impactful approach to lighting. The Model 2042/3 stands out with its ingeniously balanced structure, presenting a refined and almost ethereal form that suggests a gentle forward motion. At the heart of its design is the iconic Cornalux bulb, encased in a body tube that is subtly held in place by a rubber ring. This clever design not only ensures infinite adjustability but also adds to the streamlined aesthetics of the lamp.

The sturdy base of this iconic lamp has evolved from its traditional cast-iron composition to a more durable and eco-friendly alloy made from aluminium, magnesium, and copper. This material update enhances the lamp’s resistance to corrosion while emphasizing the brand’s commitment to environmental consciousness by ensuring the lamp is fully recyclable. Furthermore, each user interaction is made delightful through the tactile, satisfying click of the push-button on/off switch incorporated into the base, highlighting Sarfatti’s attention to both form and functional simplicity.

With its historic roots and modern updates, the Astep Model 2042/3 Ceiling Lamp not only provides illumination but also serves as a piece of art, perfect for those who appreciate design purity and environmental consideration in their lighting fixtures.
