Minimalistic in shape and style, the Astep SB Cinquantotto Suspension Light features a beautifully frosted opal glass pendant, handblown with traditional Italian craftsmanship. Perfectly emitting a delicate glow and available in two sizes, with a diameter of either 32 cm or 20cm, the SB Cinquantotto can have a strong presence hung above a dining table or a slightly more modest expression yet sharing the same timeless qualities.
Carlo Santi and Vittorio Borachia, who make up the Italian architectural duo Santi Borachia, met while they were both students at the Polytechnic School in Milan during the 1940s and found common ground exploring the world of architecture and design.
Among other collaborations, the duo was involved in the lighting company Arteluce, which at the time attracted the most talented architects and designers due to the visionary and experimental approach of its founder, Gino Sarfatti.
