Candela lampen er en lille hybrid, der kombinerer det analoge med det digitale

Edida Awards Årets Lampe: "Candela" af Francisco Gomez Paz for Astep

Bewegtes Wohnen mit flexiblem Design: H.O.M.E. zeigt schöne Einrichtungsstücke, die sich ganz leicht von einem Ort zum anderen transportieren lassen

Flos and Astep turn the lights back on for Gino Sarfatti. Alessandro Sarfatti is a third-generation lighting luminary on a mission to amplify his grandfather’s impressive archive of 20th-century lighting designs.

Wie eine Laterne lässt sich «Nox» von einem Ort zum anderen tragen. Das formschöne Objekt ist das Resultat der ersten Zusammenarbeit zwischen Designer Alfredo Häberli und dem jungen Label Astep.

说 到 底 ，米 兰 家 具 展 终 究 是 一 场“ 家 具 展 ”— — 请 不 要 将 其 改 称 为“ 设 计 周 ”— — 能够让展位位于 Rho Fiera 主会场依然是各界人士进行最新家具探索和订购的 重点之地。而再次出任家具展新主席(兼 Kartell 品牌的行政总监)的 Claudio Luti 亦提到 :“今年的家具展和以往并没有什么不同。一如往常，米兰将会带 来 迄 今 最 具 创 意 和 高 质 量 的 设 计 产 品 。”

Relighting masterpieces

'In late 1973, my grandfather Gino Sarfatti sold his company, Arteluce, to Flos, a company renowned for artisanal lighting by the most influential designers of our times. Now, Flos and I have joined forces in selecting and reviving some of the Gino Sarfatti masterpieces that have fallen out of attention over the years, but seem more relevant and essential than ever.' - Alessandro Sarfatti, founder of Astep

In 2013, Flos introduced the ‘Re-lighting Gino Sarfatti’ collection, a re-issue of five carefully selected Gino Sarfatti luminaires with cutting-edge LED technology. In continuation of Gino Sarfatti´s dedication to innovation, the Re-lighting collection brings the luminaires into the present day without detracting anything from the original sophisticated designs.

Reuniting the legacy

The luminaire collection has now been reunited with the Sarfatti family in an extraordinary collaboration between Flos and Astep, two companies and families dedicated to consolidating the legacy, quality and pertinence of Italian design.

Under the name 'Flos with Sarfatti', the two companies will continue to explore and reintroduce the work of Gino Sarfatti, adding the iconic Model 2065, which was relaunched by Astep in 2016, to the collection in a consolidation of the collaboration.

'Flos with Sarfatti' is an exquisite collection of luminaires, designed by Gino Sarfatti. A tribute to the grand lighting master who designed over 600 lamps between 1939 and 1973, continuously updating traditional typologies, inventing new functions for light and adopting the latest light sources from fluorescent tubes to the first halogens. Many of these designs appear exceptional contemporary in terms of form, aesthetics and the relationship they establish with the people in the room, emphasizing Gino Sarfatti as one of the greatest Italian lighting designers.

Astep will be exhibiting for the first time ever at Euroluce, Salone del Mobile 2017; launching two new products alongside our debut collection.

Presented will be “Nox" a new portable table luminaire by Alfredo Häberli and "VV Cinquanta Twin" by Vittoriano Viganò.

By honoring the evolution in design, Astep will also be presenting re-edit iconic objects: timeless works by Gino Sarfatti and Vittoriano Viganò.

L’imprenditore insieme a Francisco Gomez Paz ha presentato la lampada Candela: una lanterna in vetro soffiato rivoluzionaria.

Bronze, roung, Bauhaus, Asie… De Paris à New York, de Londres à Milan, les designers semblent s’être passé le mot... Décodage des six influences déco qui vont marquer la rentrée.

DAS BESONDERE STÜCK: Sie ist die Wunderlampe des 21. Jahrhunderts – Leuchte „Candela“ gewinnt ihre Energie aus einer Bioethanol-Flamme und versorgt mobile Endgeräte mit Strom.

3daysofdesign in Copenhagen is as much a catalyst of design as it is a reflection of the process behind it. Damn Magazine interviewed curator Signe Byrdal Terenziani on the development and progress of 3daysofdesign since the first event three years ago.

The swiss interior magazine, Raum und wohnen, features Candela by Francisco Gomez Paz in their Salone del Mobile 2016 report.

In April Astep launched their first range of products. Among these the revolutionary product Candela, designed by Francisco Gomez Paz. Candela continues the long tradition of Scandinavian flame luminaries by advancing the product with 21st century technology. From the heat of the flame, Candela produces its own electricity to provide a cosy LED illumination, while harvesting energy to charge mobile devices.

Lighting has always been at the center of life for founder Alessandro Sarfatti, working closely with his father Ricardo Sarfatti at Luceplan and studying the work of his grandfather, Gino Sarfatti. Each generation bringing an innovative direction to lighting and design.

By honoring the evolution in design, Astep will also be presenting re-edit iconic objects: timeless works by Gino Sarfatti and Vittoriano Viganò.
