Model 238-1 - Opaline Sphere
The Astep Model 238-1 - Opaline Sphere is a reissued classic by Gino Sarfatti, celebrating his iconic luminous sphere design. A single handblown opaline glass globe, 7.9 inches in diameter, is elegantly held within a black or champagne-painted steel ring. The ring’s subtle cut allows the sphere to be oriented upward or downward, offering either direct or indirect illumination.

Founded by Alessandro Sarfatti, Astep is a design company born from a legacy of innovation, creativity, and respect for evolution. Astep continues a family story that began with Alessandro Sarfatti's grandfather, Gino Sarfatti, and his father, Riccardo Sarfatti—two visionaries who shaped the history of Italian lighting design.
Guided by the belief that progress is built one meaningful step at a time, Astep embodies a forward motion rooted in reflection. Alessandro recalls his father’s words—“We must work in all directions, and in each one find a small amount of innovation”—as both a principle and a promise. Every creation by Astep is a continuation of this idea: that evolution is not about radical leaps, but about the quiet pursuit of something better, something more relevant and enduring. At its heart, Astep bridges the timeless with the contemporary.
