Upglas is a story of transformation, where forgotten fragments of Murano glass are reimagined into sculptural light. Using a patented process, leftover glass is ground into powder, combined with biodegradable resin, and shaped by hand like dough before being fired at low temperatures to reduce impact. The result is a smooth yet tactile surface, marbled with unique chromatic patterns that make every lamp one of a kind. Drawing on Murano’s legacy of glassmaking and Luca Nichetto’s passion for material experimentation, Upglas is both a visual statement and a sustainable innovation. Launched as table lamps in two shapes and four duo-toned colourways, it invites a new way of seeing beauty in design and in transformation.

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.
