Model 2109 Le Sfere Chandelier – Astep Design

Gino Sarfatti's visionary Le Sfere chandelier represents the pinnacle of Italian modernist lighting design. This extraordinary fixture comprises a radial array of blown opaline glass spheres, each individually hand-cradled by painted steel rings that seem to float effortlessly in space. The geometric precision of the spheres contrasts beautifully with the sculptural steel structure, creating a luminous composition that mesmerizes from every angle. By orienting spheres upward or downward, you control both direct and indirect illumination, transforming the fixture's function with a simple adjustment.

The Le Sfere family exists in multiple configurations—from the intimate 12-sphere Model 2109-12-14 to the show-stopping 24-sphere Model 2109-24-14—each crafted to Astep's exacting standards. These chandeliers draw on six decades of Sarfatti's experimentation with light, form, and material. Astep's revival honors not merely the aesthetics but the engineering brilliance: every sphere is individually hung, balanced, and positioned for optical harmony. This is functional sculpture, commanding attention in grand foyers, dining rooms, and gallery spaces.

Handcrafted entirely in Italy, the Le Sfere represents the pinnacle of European lighting craftsmanship. Premium blown opaline glass and hand-painted steel undergo meticulous assembly, with each fixture receiving individual quality control. The Sarfatti family's commitment to perpetual progress—the guiding philosophy behind Astep—ensures these pieces are built to endure generations of use and admiration.
