Model 2109/24/14 Chandelier by Astep

The original Model 2109/24/14 by Gino Sarfatti, made by Astep and sold here in the 120V version.

Few lighting designs have aged as well as Gino Sarfatti's opal globes. Each blown-glass sphere is held by a slim steel ring with a notch in it, which lets you point the glass downward for direct light or upward for a reflected glow. Astep, run by Sarfatti's grandson, produces them today to the original specifications.

Why we carry it

We've been curating design-led lighting since 2009, and Astep's re-editions are the reference versions of these mid-century and contemporary designs. The Model 2109/24/14 is made by Astep, not a look-alike.

Buy once: durability and care

Dust the glass with a soft dry cloth; switch off and let it cool before touching the bulb. (Our advice; Astep publishes care guidance in its download area.)
