Model 2050
for Astep
Astep’s re-edition of the iconic Model 2050 suspension light by Franco Albini and Franca Helg signifies a continued commitment to rediscovering the brilliance of Italian lighting masters while embracing the pioneering spirit in materials research, a sentiment shared by Albini, Helg, and Sarfatti. In this revival, environmental sensitivity takes center stage through using Green Cast. This material is 100% recycled and recyclable, patented, and crafted in Italy, possessing identical properties to classic methacrylate. The brushed finish of the Green Cast used for the new 2050 diffuser reinstates a timeless elegance, blending tradition with innovation. Astep’s re-edition is a testament to honoring design legacies while pushing the boundaries of sustainable materials.
