Foscarini Caboche by Patricia Urquiola and Eliana Gerotto, 2005

Resulting from the desire to create a precious and charming lamp like a pearl bracelet, accommodated with a focus on lightweight and transparency thanks to the use of PMMA, Caboche established itself from the onset as one of Foscarini's best-selling products, and it has become a genuine icon in the world of lighting and design.

Rich, bright and sophisticated, Caboche isa mosaic of refractions, a perfect fusion of different personalities in the one form, coming together to create the body and light effect of the lamp. When it is turned on, the light diffuses from inside the spheres like lots of bright crystals, providing 360° lighting of the surrounding environment and guaranteeing direct lighting on the underlying surface and reflection on the ceiling. This lighting emotion is also vouched by Led versions – affording high energy efficiency levels and durability - completely re-engineered in terms of lighting technology especially to ensure the same intensity, diffusion and temperature as the light produced by the original version.

Foscarini Twiggy by Marc Sadler, 2006

Foscarini and Marc Sadler's shared passion for research into new technologies has given rise to Twiggy, the iconic arched floor lamp which is available in an entire collection of lamps made of composite material on a lacquered fiberglass base. The suspension version is available in two sizes to guarantee ample possibilities of use. Using the same diffuser as the floor and table versions, lighting the area underneath the lamp directly and - thanks to the transparency of the upper protection disk - diffuses efficient up-light by reflection.

Foscarini Havana by Jozeph Forakis, 1993

The young, light-weight appearance recalling the shape of a cigar, which

ironically gives it its name, the soft light that it emits and the ease with which it

blends in with the most varied contexts, have made it the great success thatit is today, so much so that it is also part of the permanent collection on exhibit at

the New York MoMA.

The mono version of Havana consists of a single polyethylene body with signs

that recall its division into four segments, a division which distinguishes

Foscarini Lightweight by Tom Dixon, 1995

The classic suspension lamp with Murano ground glass arms is denuded of all itsdécor. Only the skeleton

remains: a light geometric frame that recalls the three- dimensional development of a crystal. Hand- made by

welding together hundreds of metal rebar elements, Lightweight merges the contemporary design of Tom

Dixon with a semi- artisanal production process, halfway between innovation and tradition.

Eight small transparent and satin finish blown glass diffusers rest on each of the arms of Lightweight,

diffusing an intense light in every direction. Its strong personality and dimensions enhance its decorative

Foscarini Allegro by Atelier Oi, 2007

Allegretto brings all the wonderful theatricality and magical harmony of the Allegro projectto the home and to contract spaces, with proportions and volumes designed on a smaller space. An entire family of hanging lamps that take on their shape thanks to the force of gravity, created with metal lines that design the light and emit sounds when they touch. The collection name is inspired exactly to this “musicality”.

There are three versions, according to the finish of the metal elements, to express three different styles: Allegretto Ritmico in black, Allegretto Vivace in brown and Allegretto Assai in gold. Allegretto lamps can be used as the visual center of an environment, instead of a traditional ceiling lamp, or to complement the larger

Foscarini Tress by Marc Sadler, 2008

The seduction of a woman’s tress wash the initial inspiration for the Tress family of lamps.This design-come-true by Foscarini was achieved through the development of a completely original technological process, involving a

fiberglass and resin tape woven with orderly casual ness to become the structure and aesthetics of the lamp. Tress changes personality according to its color: it is light and

discrete in white, strong and decisive in black and volcanic and totemic in red, which makes the contrast between the interior

and the exterior even more evident.

The mini, small and medium size of Tress hanging version has been designed to illuminate a specific area of the space below;

on the other hand the big size is characterized for a more widespread light diffusion.

Foscarini Birdie by Ludovica & Roberto Palomba, 2012

A variable number of arms with a white finish, as slender as the branches of a tree, support small colored diffusers, whose shape is a reinterpretation of the classic shades. It’s Birdie ceiling lamp, whose elements spontaneously coalesce to give life to a friendly lamp that combines a smooth and familiar structure with a boldly character.

Unlike the Birdie ceiling lamp, the pendant one can suit different ceiling heights, thanks toan additional canopy and cable set. Because of balancing reasons, the suspended lamp concerns the version with 6 or 9 arms, the ones endowed with the most scenic appeal and with the largest amount of lights, that light up like the flames of a modern chandelier.

Made with sturdy yet lightweight materials, always, Birdie has a different character depending on the color: in white, it can be discreet and almost invisible, but in amaranth, orange or grey it

Foscarini Maki by Nendo, 2011

Take two sheets of paper and roll them up together, creating something that resembles a seashell or a flower... an intuitive object both poetic and beguiling. Maki was conceived bya spontaneous natural inspiration, becominga design product only after a challenging development process. As if made of paper,two aluminum sheets were rolled up and one slipped inside the other. Only with incisions, invisible when the lamp is assembled, could the creators obtain the proper play of light. The simple form of Maki plays with the immaterial nature of light, integrating it as an important decorative element: the side glare is filtered by the edges of the rolled-up metallic sheets, creating a dynamic yet soft effect. While light is also cast directly down, as a soft spot beam. This dual luminous effect allows Maki to be charming all alone or in linear

Foscarini Behive by Werner Aisslinger, 2012

Inspired by the softly rounded shape of a beehive, consisting of a series of rings of different diameters, which make up a luminous structure crossed by thin lines, Behive is also available as a suspension lamp.

A diffuser screen fitted inside it conceals the technical components away from view and leaves the light source free to light downwards and irradiate the characteristics warm, soft luminosity of Behive.

The white light of the lamp this plays a dual role: on the outside, it emphasizes the graphic design of the rings, whereas from the top down, it focuses the light on a specific area.Destined to appeal both when it is

Foscarini Le Soleil by Vincente Garcia Jimenez, 2009

Suspended architecture that recalls the outline of the Guggenheim Museum in New York: this is the first impression of Le Soleil suspension lamp, a luminous sphere made up of irregular bands that act like reflective surfaces inside and like a diffuser outside, creating a soft, attractive hanging glow. The use of a material that does not reveal the light helps to create the special luminous effect of this lamp, with beams of light projected upwards and direct illumination downwards, to highlight a precise area of the space.

The irregular edge of the bands adds movement to the volume of Le Soleil, with an architectural effect that renders it different every time, according to the observer’s point of view. The choice between different colors emphasizes its expressive nature and

Foscarini Gregg by Roberto & Ludovica Palomba, 2007

A product of natural inspiration and extensive research, Gregg’s shape is reminiscent of a large pebble, its surface polished by the

water. It could even be seen as the egg of some mythological beast, a symbol of creation and re-birth. Pure volume with a

familiar ease of interpretation, yet one that is surprising, because Gregg’s asymmetric shape changes depending on the point of view of the person observing it. This is a new solution where a traditional

material like glass becomes a tool in the designer’s hands to give an original character to an environment.

There are three different sizes in the hanging, table, ceiling and wall versions and four different solutions for the floor lamp: the

Gregg collection is one of the most versatile and transversal and can be easily placed in any type of setting. In the home

environment the warm, uniform light produced by the white satined diffuser and its essential style have a strong functional and

decorative value. Thanks to the closed shape of the diffuser, the bulb is screened in all directions, which protects from dazzle and

makes it easy to place even at different heights.

When part of a composition, Gregg is suitable for some of the most surprising uses.A ‘raindrop’ structure highlights the vertical

extension of a window or stairway, producing an extremely striking

Foscarini Aplomb by Lucidi & Pevere, 2010

Aplomb is a small suspension lamp that creates direct and precise lighting on an underlying surface. Visible concrete is part of the expressive language of modern architecture and Foscarini, with Aplomb, uses this material with a spirit and a technology that is entirely original. The lamp displays a light touch of extreme elegance and formal simplicity, which softens the massive solidity of the concrete by enhancing its polished and yet unrefined material aspect.

The small size of the lamp allows it to be used on its own (for example on a coffee table),in a line to light up a surface or even as a composition at different heights. It is available in three different colors. The choice of colors, with pigments added directly into the concrete mix, enhances the personality
