Pepa

Pepa, a design by Francesco Faccin, made in collaboration with Astep, to take a step forward

The warmth of solid ash wood

Pepa was born from the intuition of Italian designer Francesco Faccin to create a light that needs to be touched in order to be seen

Pepa is a step forward in sustainability

All its parts are easy to access, repair and recycle

Turning it, up to 360°, adjusts the brightness from maximum to off

Designer Francesco Faccin And Astep Founder Alessandro Safatti

“I am interested in design that sparks connections, thought and debate, above all those that are a product of in-depth studies beyond the object itself. Design is a fantastic opportunity to deepen our relationship with the world around us.

Francesco Faccin

Designer

Pepa was inspired by a small kitchen tool that can be found on tables in homes and restaurants all over the world: the pepper grinder. As you would hold and twist a pepper grinder to add pepper to a dish, Pepa is held and twisted to add light to your everywhere. With the warm and familiar feel of solid Ash wood, Pepa is a portable battery-powered luminaire that is inviting to touch and hold. The conical reflector of Pepa acts as a limitless 360º rotary dimmer, allowing smooth adjustment of light from full brightness to minimum, with a satisfying click when turned off.
