The Foscarini brand
Foscarini imagines, develops and produces decorative lamps: day or night, they seduce when they are on, and surprise when they are off. From the outset, independence from production constraints has meant great freedom of thought. 35 years of collaboration with international designers and local know-how have resulted in a long series of icon-lamps capable of interacting with a space - domestic or collective - and with those who experience it. Their values: a rigor and a passion oriented towards project design.
KNOW-HOW :
The “know-how” of a territory that has allowed the birth of products of the highest quality.
Foscarini’s existence is also due to its geographical location. In addition to the Venetian region and its excellence in glass production, the brand relies on a vast network of artisanal companies that have allowed the creation and development of industrial districts in north-central Italy.
Foscarini maintains a fruitful relationship with the territory. They select the Maestrie, the “maestrias” – the best know-how, the artisanal skills – to give shape to their projects. MAESTRIE is the story of a practical choice that is also a philosophy of thought. The story of the craftsmanship that has given birth to a number of Foscarini icons. A tribute to the productive intelligence of these small and medium-sized Made in Italy companies, which they call upon in turn to satisfy the requirements of their projects. A collaboration that is also a mutual challenge, where they explore the riches and limits of tradition, in search of a line that, in the finished product, will carry meaning – the original idea.
Selection of 3 luminaires:
CABOCHE
A pure jewel of design, as sparkling and precious as a bracelet of pearls, the Caboche collection features a circular metal base that echoes the shape of the diffuser. To bring a touch of charm and sublimate the most diverse spaces.
Designed by Patricia Urquiola and Eliana Gerotto, Caboche was created in 2005 based on an intuition that was both strong and simple: to create a lighting fixture with a look as precious, sophisticated and light as a pearl bracelet. From the very beginning, Caboche has been one of Foscarini’s biggest bestsellers, and has become a true icon.
Caboche Plus is the new version, completely revisited using modern technologies. More transparency and luminosity, for lighter lines. An object with great visual impact, able to combine lightness, decorative and functional value.
SPOKES
Spokes expresses a feeling of movement and lightness thanks to its incredible mesh structure. The multiple metal wires reproduce the graphic and hypnotic effect of a bicycle wheel in motion (Spokes means “spokes” in English).
As if by magic, the light filters from the inside through a geometric grid structure, projecting a kaleidoscope of empty and full spaces.
The Spokes 1 suspension is distinguished by its elongated and dynamic form.
The shape of Spokes 2 is reminiscent of a lantern or an aviary.
TWIGGY WOOD
Tradition and innovation are perfectly combined in the new Twiggy Wood, with a bleached maple shade, where lightness meets the warmth of wood, resulting in a surprisingly elegant synthesis.
The shade is obtained by superimposing two sheets of bleached maple. It is encircled at the top and bottom by two bamboo rings a few millimeters thick.
Strong design, innovation, ingenuity, Twiggy seduces as much by its aestheticism as by its functionality. This curved floor lamp is composed of a large flexible stem that magically holds an imposing shade in the air. The result of research into composite materials, Twiggy has a long, flexible rod that is as strong as a fishing rod and allows the lighting to be decentralized from its base. The extreme thinness of the rod allows to obtain a minimal space requirement for a discreet visual impact.
