Pepa Portable Table Lamp

Designer: Francesco Faccin

Pepa is a portable LED table lamp inspired by the small kitchen tool that found on tables in homes all over the world, the pepper grinder. Astep's portable Pepa lamp, designed by Italian Francesco Faccin, is a rechargeable table lamp inspired by a classic pepper mill. Just like turning a pepper mill to grind pepper, the Pepa lamp's body is twisted to adjust the light: its conical shade rotates 360 degrees, allowing for seamless adjustment from a soft ambient glow to a bright reading light, with a soft and satisfying click at full volume and again at off.

The dimmable LED light source is hidden beneath the shade, creating a pleasant, glare-free illumination. Crafted from natural ash wood, Pepa's tactile surface invites you to touch and feel its unique wood grain patterns. The portable lamp brings warm elegance to any home or summer cottage, and its cordless design makes it easy to move around.

The Pepa lamp is powered by rechargeable batteries and charged using the included USB-C cable. Power supply: 6x rechargeable battery 6000mAh LiFePO4, not included. A full charge lasts 19 hours. USB Type C cable for charging included; charger plug not included.
