Asteria, which was previewed at Euroluce in 2025, reinterprets the traditional multi-arm chandelier by paring it back to its essentials. The result is a minimal and architectural lamp that’s designed to make an impact in any room.
The heart of the design is the arm: a curved profile of extruded aluminium with a triangular section that carries the light source along its upper edge. A semi-transparent screen directs light upward for a soft ambient glow while tracing a thin luminous line down each arm, so the fixture appears to float in space. A recessed LED spot at the base adds a focused beam of downward light, ideal over a table, and the arms and spot can be dimmed separately to shift a room’s atmosphere.
Asteria comes as a single-level, six-arm design in three sizes, with a special eighteen-arm Multi version across three staggered levels available on request. It is offered in two finishes, dark red and titanium.
Asteria is a contemporary suspension lamp that minimises the compositional elements of a chandelier, achieving the perfect combination of function and decoration. Its sleek and rigorous formal language finds harmony and balance in the quality of the light, the soft curves, and the dynamic arrangement of the arms: details that free the design from any aesthetic rigidity.
Designed by Alberto and Francesco Meda, Asteria was born from the desire to reinterpret the archetype of the traditional multi-arm chandelier through a design approach that combines form, materials, and LED technology.
Asteria is a versatile and flexible lighting solution. Its refined and sleek design makes it suitable for a wide range of settings, from residential to commercial. It offers multiple configurations, from the single-level version with six arms, available in three different sizes, to the special Multi version, which features eighteen arms arranged across three staggered, overlapping levels for a stunning dynamic effect (available upon request). Its scenic presence and understated elegance are enhanced by two distinctive colour options, dark red and titanium, making it a true centrepiece in any space.
The central element of the design is the arm: a curved profile made of extruded aluminium with a triangular section, designed to integrate the light source into the upper part of its structure.
A semi-transparent screen extending to the edges guides the light diffusion upwards, creating a comfortable, reflected ambient light. At the same time, it highlights the profile of the arms to either side, tracing a subtle luminous line that appears to float in space.
An LED spotlight, enclosed in a cone baffle and recessed at the base of the cylindrical element that connects the arms, projects a focused beam of light downwards, which is ideal for lighting a table or a specific area without causing glare.
Thanks to the set-up for dual switching, the luminous emission of the arms and the spotlight can be controlled and dimmed separately, offering the freedom to create different atmospheres according to the needs of the moment and the space.
