Upglas T1 Table Lamp | Astep

Upglas is a story of transformation, where forgotten fragments of Murano glass are reimagined into sculptural light. Using a patented low-impact process, leftover glass is ground into powder, combined with biodegradable resin, and shaped by hand like dough before being fired at low temperatures. The result is a smooth yet tactile surface, marbled with unique chromatic patterns that make every lamp one of a kind. Designed in collaboration with Luca Nichetto and produced in partnership with Rehub, Upglas celebrates Murano's glassmaking legacy while pioneering sustainable material innovation.

The T1 features a compact, organic form that works beautifully on desks, bedside tables, or shelving. Its sculptural presence and handcrafted quality make it both a functional light source and a statement art object. Each variant emerges with its own unique marble pattern—no two lamps are ever identical. Available in four sophisticated duo-toned colorways: Black, Coral, Green, and White. The soft, diffused light creates an intimate ambiance perfect for reading, working, or simply creating a warm focal point in any room.

Astep, founded by Alessandro Sarfatti, continues a three-generation design legacy rooted in his grandfather Gino Sarfatti's revolutionary work with Arteluce and his parents' pioneering vision at Luceplan. By reimagining iconic designs and creating innovative new lighting solutions, Astep honors the Sarfatti family's enduring commitment to advancing modern design. Every Astep product reflects this heritage of progress, craftsmanship, and technological integration in the home.

FAQ

Is every Upglas lamp unique?

Yes. Each lamp is handcrafted using a patented process that creates unique marbled patterns in the glass composite. No two lamps are identical, making each one a one-of-a-kind art object.

Can I use the Upglas T1 on a bedside table?

Absolutely. The T1's compact size and soft, diffused light make it ideal for bedroom settings. The touch dimmer allows you to adjust the light intensity without reaching for a switch.

Is the Upglas lamp sustainable?

Yes. Upglas repurposes leftover Murano glass fragments, combines them with biodegradable resin, and uses a low-temperature firing process to minimize environmental impact. This is a true circular design solution.

What's the difference between T1 and T2?

The T1 has a compact, rounded form, while the T2 is taller and more sculptural. Both use the same sustainable material and offer the same color options. Choose based on your space and aesthetic preference.
