With the re-edition of the iconic Model 2050 by Franco Albini and Franca Helg, Astep continues its work of rediscovery of great Italian masters of light while also pursuing the same pioneering spirit in materials research that animated Albini, Helg and Sarfatti. It does so by bringing environmental sensitivity into the equation through using Green Cast, a material that is 100% recycled and recyclable, patented and made in Italy, featuring identical properties of classic methacrylate. With its brushed finish, the Green Cast used for the new 2050 diffusor restores a timeless elegance.

Protect Your Purchase: A Note on Authenticity

Be aware of unauthorized imitations circulating globally, both online and through various physical retailers — some even misusing the Astep brand name. In the current digital landscape, online searches frequently prioritize these knock-offs and "dupes" above original content. This makes it easy for worthless imitations to hide behind a prestigious reputation, often appearing at the very top of your search results.

Although a lower price may be tempting, a counterfeit is a poor investment. Unlike authentic design pieces, its resale value drops to zero the moment you purchase it. True sustainability lies in longevity; authentic originals are built to stay appreciated across generations, whereas counterfeits inevitably end up as waste.

When you buy a knockoff, you are the primary victim. You are paying for a worthless product that lacks the structural integrity, safety certifications, and longevity of an original. Furthermore, your choice directly impacts the creator; counterfeits deprive designers of their rightful royalties. By choosing authentic Astep products, you ensure that the creative minds behind these icons are fairly compensated and that their legacies are preserved.

To guarantee your peace of mind and ensure you are investing in real value, bypass unauthorized advertisements and purchase exclusively through Astep’s official dealers via the link on this page.
