Model 238-1 Switch by Astep

Model 238-1 Wall Light with Switch – Astep Design

This variant of Sarfatti's larger Model 238-1 features the substantial 20cm diameter blown opaline glass sphere paired with an integrated on/off switch directly in the steel ring. The switch adds practical convenience without compromising the fixture's elegant proportions or visual refinement. This is ideal for bedside applications, bath installations, or gallery spaces where controlling light at the fixture itself enhances both function and aesthetics. The commanding scale of the 20cm sphere ensures the fixture remains the visual anchor of its wall, with the switch integration becoming an organic part of the overall composition.

Astep's thoughtful engineering demonstrates how contemporary convenience can enhance historic design without sacrificing essential character. The integrated switch is robust and reliable, tested to withstand years of frequent use while maintaining perfect aesthetic harmony with Sarfatti's original proportional vision.

Manufactured in Italy with premium individually blown opaline glass and precision-engineered steel hardware incorporating the integrated switch, this variant exemplifies Astep's commitment to merging heritage design with practical modern living.
