Model 2050 Pendant Light – Astep Design

Franco Albini and Franca Helg's iconic Model 2050 suspension brings refined simplicity to pendant lighting through its gracefully proportioned opaline glass diffuser and elegant support system. Available with wire or rod suspension, the Model 2050 allows you to choose aesthetic expression: wire suspension reads as ethereal and weightless, while rod suspension emphasizes architectural structure. Both suspensions refract light through the sphere with equal elegance, diffusing illumination softly throughout the space. The minimalist design allows the fixture to integrate seamlessly into diverse interior styles, from austere modernism to warmly eclectic spaces.

This pendant exemplifies how Italian designers of the mid-century era approached form and function: strip away everything extraneous, refine every essential element, and create an object that elevates its environment through quiet perfection. Astep's meticulous reissue honors the original design's integrity while incorporating modern electrical and safety standards, ensuring reliable performance in contemporary homes and spaces.

Handcrafted in Italy, the Model 2050 combines a hand-blown opaline or smoke glass diffuser with precision-engineered steel hardware and high-quality electrical components. The fixture is engineered for permanent installation and reliable long-term performance.
