Alessandro Sarfatti, inspired by his father's belief in perpetual progress, founded Astep, a company intertwining three generations of design ethos with modern lighting technology. With a rich family history in design, Alessandro's grandfather, Gino Sarfatti, revolutionized the lighting industry through Arteluce. His father, Riccardo, alongside his mother Sandra Severi, further innovated by blending design and technology with Luceplan. Astep creates new products for the home – objects that bring digital technologies to the forefront of our domestic lives. In addition, Astep revitalizes iconic works of Gino Sarfatti and Vittoriano Viganò, carrying on the Sarfatti family's enduring avant-garde spirit.

Vittoriano Viganò was a versatile designer who aimed to improve human and social life. He worked on different scales: from industrial design to architecture, from interior design to urban planning. He was the leading Italian figure of ‘Brutalism’. He grew up as the son of an artist and became an architect. He collaborated with his friend Gino Sarfatti, the founder of Arteluce, and designed the VV Cinquanta lamps. He won the Italian Republic President Prize for Architecture in 1991.
