Astep is a young, contemporary design company with a rich legacy. Founded in 2014 by Alessandro Sarfatti with the vision of creating and curating timeless design objects with an innovative approach and environmental awareness. Astep offers thoughtful, long–lasting and carefully crafted lighting for home interiors, offices and design spaces alike. Based in Copenhagen and produced in Italy, Astep draws heavily on the Italian design legacy of the Sarfatti family and continuously strive to remain curious and evolving.

An impression is formed in an instant, yet lingers in memory far longer than the moment itself. In light, this phenomenon becomes especially powerful. A glow, a rhythm, a constellation in space can shape how a room is perceived and how it is remembered. “Lasting Impressions” reflects on this quiet yet profound ability of light to leave a trace. Not as a decorative element, but as a spatial gesture that defines atmosphere, guides the eye, and settles into our sensory memory. The exhibition considers how certain luminous forms possess the rare quality of staying with us—long after leaving the room. Together, the works explores how light can do more than illuminate a space; it can define how that space is felt and remembered.

Kaikale is an India-based furniture brand rooted in local craftsmanship and people-driven making. In collaboration with the Scandinavian architect Alexander Mihel, the work brings together traditional Indian carpentry and Scandinavian design principles. Kaikale x Alexander Mihel presents a furniture collection developed over 2,5 years through a hands-on collaborative process. The collection is made using carpentry-based methods, working with established hardwoods and also experimenting with non-forest timber such as coconut timber. In India, the coconut tree has traditionally been fully utilised, with every part used. The furniture continues this approach by giving coconut wood a long life as durable, long-lasting pieces.
