STEP is a pendant modular lighting designed to use different light sources, including retrofit LED light bulbs and LED light tubes.
Produced in recycled PET felt, STEP lampshades have a dual function: they reflect light and absorb sound.
Its “stepped cone” shape refers to the image of the light cone. It also allows one to choose the desired height of the lampshade, while its modularity allows one to achieve the desired length.
This flexibility permits the STEP to meet any specific interior requirements, such as being used over diverse tables – from cafés to bigger dining and conference tables, from workstations to ambient loft lighting.
