Choose from a wealth of stylish lighting options from famed Italian brand, Foscarini.

It’s easy to overlook overhead lighting, but lamps, whether strategically placed or tucked in a corner, have the ability to call your attention with their warm glow and often decorative appearance.

For Italian brand Foscarini, which was founded in 1981 on the Venetian island of Murano, its aim is to produce lighting that – whether on or off – can transform a space with beauty. Key to the brand’s collection of lamps is active collaboration with international designers, such as Patricia Urquiola and Rodolfo Dordoni, resulting in a freedom of ideas that shape their diverse and distinctive range of lights. 

What’s more, these strategic partnerships allow Foscarini to explore a wealth of materials and approach products with innovation, which over the years, have defined the brand’s manufacturing mastery, alongside an extensive list of design icons.

Foscarini’s range of designer lighting, which are available at Space, is sure to be a worthwhile addition to any stylish home. Here are a few standouts to choose from:

APLOMB

It’s all about material for the Aplomb range, featuring hanging pendant lamps made in from concrete and aluminium. The lamps explore the expressive potential of the material, where its usual grey color is transformed by adding pigments directly into the cement mixture. What results are color options such as brick red, sand yellow, and olive green, alongside more traditional shades like white, concrete grey, and brown.

BUDS

Designed by Rodolfo Dordoni, the Buds lamp was created with quality materials and through an artisanal, hand-blown process to enrich the light it emits. Five layers (crystal, color, white, paliesco, and crystal again) are overlapped as the glass is mouth-blown, resulting in truly unique pieces. The Buds lamp comes in three different shapes and is available in colors like brown, grey, bamboo green, and white.

CABOCHE

An element of luxury and glamour for any space is introduced through the Caboche lamp. Comprised of a wide, ring-shaped body that’s affixed with transparent or smoke-colored acrylic glass spheres, the lamp exudes and impressive reflection of light when switched on, making the small spheres look like sparkling gems. Available in models such as a floor, table, or wall lamp, this range is a joint design by Eliana Gerotto and Patricia Urquiola.

Also designed by Rodolfo Dordoni and first introduced in 1990, the Lumiere lamp is a reinterpretation of the classic bedside lamp, comprised of tripod legs and a blown glass diffuser. Its latest iteration features three new colors for the diffuser (warm white, cherry red, and turquoise) that change in intensity whether it’s switched on or off, as well as a base that’s now available in a champagne hue.

NILE

NILE is a decorative table lamp that’s all about simplicity, sophistication, and elegance. It’s clean, simple form is crafted out of marble and glass – a juxtaposition of mineral coolness and handmade warmth; industry and craftsmanship. The Dordoni-designed piece is already beautiful when not in use but exudes further allure when warm light filters through the precious blown glass.

RITUALS

Taking inspiration from traditional Japanese paper lanterns, Foscarini’s Rituals range transforms beauty and poetry into something tangible. Made with blown glass using a traditional craft-based process, the shade is then marked by thin engravings that recall the art of grinding. The lamp’s look and form treads the line between East and West, bringing both style and function to a variety of settings.

SPOKES

Designed by Garcia Cumini, Spokes is a lamp that draws inspiration from the spokes of a bicycle wheel, generating an object of great iconic force, with a lighting concept that plays with the contrast between full and empty, inside and outside, shadow and light. Donning metallic colors, this changes the interpretation of the design while offering new luminous reflections, making the spokes seem even more slender and precious.

Marc Sadler’s Twiggy floor lamp – which was first introduced in 2006 – is a global success, thanks to its simple silhouette, elegant movement, and strong character. Today, the lamp’s current iteration features an upsized version, perfect for large, cavernous spaces, as well as the original size interpreted in new colors like crimson, indigo blue, greige, black, and white.
