Introducing Astep’s Pepa, the rechargeable lamp that has taken its looks and operating mechanism from one completely ordinary everyday item. But don't be fooled – Pepa's charm lies in its exquisite material, elegant design, and incredible versatility. Light up your nights with style!
BASED ON ITS APPEARANCE, can you guess which completely ordinary object inspired Francesco Faccini to design the Pepa lamp?
Well, a pepper mill, of course!
Just like turning a pepper mill to grind pepper, the Pepa lamp's body is twisted to adjust the light: its conical shade rotates a full 360 degrees, allowing the light to be adjusted from a soft ambient glow to a bright reading light.
The dimmable LED light source is hidden beneath the shade, creating a pleasant, glare-free illumination.
In addition to its mechanism, Pepa's other special feature is its material. The lamp is made of natural ash wood with a lively surface that invites you to touch and feel its varying wood grain patterns with your fingertips.
The Pepa lamp is powered by rechargeable batteries and charged using a USB-C cable. The battery life lasts up to 19 hours, so the light won't run out even during a long evening party!
