A family's craftsmanship legacy
In 1939, Alessandro Sarfatti's grandfather, Gino Sarfatti, established Arteluce, a company that led the way in introducing design to the lighting industry. In 1978, Alessandro's father, Riccardo Sarfatti, took it further. Together with Alessandro's mother, he founded the company Luceplan. This company merged design with technology and created a new business model celebrating quality and innovation. Both Arteluce and Luceplan gave rise to one iconic armature after another, characterised not only by their timeless elegance but also by the spirit of evolution.
Innovation for the home
Astep creates new products for the home - items that give digital technologies a greater and more meaningful place in our daily lives. Honouring the evolution of design, they also reimagine iconic pieces: timeless works by Gino Sarfatti and Vittoriano Viganò, derived from the same optimistic, forward-looking attitude that still inspires today.
Astep leads the way for the future of furnishings
In a world where digital solutions are becoming increasingly prevalent daily, Astep strives to merge the quality of life offered by new technologies with respect for people, items and the environment - a fundamental principle of good design.
Embracing the new while upholding the utmost reverence for the past, through combining the work of the great minds of the past with the great minds of the present, they seek to deepen the relationship between people and their homes. A multifaceted world of products that can spread a warmth of homeliness wherever people need it."
