Astep Model 262 Wall Lamp, satinated aluminium

Astep Model 262 wall lamp.

The Model 262 from Astep has become a lighting classic, and was designed by Gino Sarfatti in 1971.

The Model 262 wall lamp reflects the principles of modernist design and was born from Sarfatti's desire to create a fixture that would focus on the essence of light itself in its purest, most authentic form.

This vision inspired the minimalist shape of the lamp, with a round aluminum reflector that frames the centrally placed bulb and beautifully reflects the shades, resulting in atmospheric ambient light.

The Model 262 lamp comes with a mirrored E27 bulb, but you can vary the look endlessly by simply replacing the bulb, and using a bulb of your choice. ( think of Philips Hue.

About the designer:

The Italian designer Gino Sarfatti (1912-1985) was a master of lighting design and founder of the lighting brand Arteluce. Born in Venice, Sarfatti moved to Genoa to study aeronautical engineering until he was forced to interrupt his studies in the late 1930s due to the war. Sarfatti founded Arteluce in Milan in 1939. In 1943, he and his family had to flee Italy to Switzerland, but after the war they returned to Milan to reorganize Arteluce's production. The 1950s were a golden age for Arteluce: in In 1954, two of Sarfatti's lamps were awarded the Grand Prix at the Milan Triennale and in the two following years his designs received the Compasso d'Oro prize.
