FOSCARINI - LIGHT THAT CHANGES EVERYTHING
The Foscarini brand stands for Italian luminaire design that seduces when switched on and surprises when switched off. The company, which was founded in 1981 on the Venetian island of Murano, gives living spaces an aesthetic and emotional quality with its lighting designs. Foscarini has been working with internationally recognised designers and local craftsmen for over 35 years. Numerous lights with cult status have emerged from this - for both private and public use.
The range of lights from Foscarini
Fare Luce: the lights from Foscarini
All Foscarini luminaire designs follow the words Fare Luce, which means to make light. The message is that content is transported and illuminated in a new way by means of the shape of a luminaire. The creation process under the motto Fare Luce encompasses the world of creation and moulding on the one hand and the world of visions, thoughts and light on the other.
Foscarini is committed to these values
All Foscarini designers create with passion, emotion and feeling. Enthusiasm is one of the driving forces in the creative process. Great importance is attached to the freedom to think through and realise lighting ideas without mental blinkers. A dialogue between concept and form, which constantly results in new designs, is also one of the company's cornerstones. Last but not least, the Italian roots characterise the creative process, with a particular focus on high-quality craftsmanship.
Creative material compositions
Foscarini designers love to play freely and experiment with a wide variety of materials. At the top of the list for the Murano-based company was initially traditional glass art and thus blown glass. Gradually, fibreglass composite material, painted PVC and metal, concrete and silicone are also being used - not to mention ABS plastic, steel and aluminium. The company has put a great deal of research into the material mix of glass fibre and carbon fibre that is used in Mite and Tite by Marc Sadler.
Carlo Urbinati and Alessandro Vecchiato - pioneers of creative freedom
Carlo Urbinati and Alessandro Vecchiato joined Foscarini as creative heads. In 1988 they became the new owners. The Folio lamp, a reinterpretation of traditional glassblowing, was designed by her. Over the years, they have created the basis for ever new creations that know no limits in terms of design, processing techniques and cultural references. Carlo Urbinati has been the sole Managing Director and President of Foscarini since 2014.
Marc Sadler stands for innovative and experimental designs
Foscarini designer Marc Sadler is characterised by his many years of experience as an industrial designer in the sports industry. The use of ever new materials and innovative production processes also characterises his luminaire designs. His innovative and experimental approach has resulted in award-winning cult models such as Mite and Tite, which are made from a mixture of fibreglass and carbon fibre. The Kite, Twiggy, Tress and Jamaica lights have also become modern classics thanks to their innovative look and technology.
Patricia Urquiola - her style is elegant and sensitive
Patricia Urquiola has made a name for herself internationally as an architect and designer and has received numerous awards for her work. Her lighting creation for Foscarini is called Caboche Plus and was created in collaboration with Eliana Gerotto. The famous light model is a fascinating symbiosis of technology and creativity.
Timeless fascination: Lumiere by Rodolfo Dordoni
Rodolfo Dordoni penned the timeless classic Lumiere. The famous Foscarini model completely reinterprets the classic lampshade. Made from blown glass, it conveys emotions and impresses with its absolutely purist beauty. In addition to Lumiere, Dordoni created the Buds collection for Foscarini and also designed showrooms and exhibitions.
The designer couple Ludovica and Roberto Palomba stand for long-lasting creations
Alongside Birdie, Tartan and Rituals, the Gregg luminaire series is an outstanding creation by Ludovica and Roberto Palomba for Foscarini. With its organic shape, it is reminiscent of well-formed pebbles. The designer duo stands for objects that enter into a dialogue with their owners and build relationships that are characterised by longevity.
Enrico Franzolini and Vicente Garcia Jimenez - creators of the design classic Big Bang
Together they created the Foscarini classic Big Bang: We are talking about the designers Enrico Franzolini and Vicente Garcia Jimenez. The Big Bang product family combines chaos and geometry and is a real eye-catcher. The dynamic structure of interlocking surfaces creates a theatrical effect - ideal for a luminous appearance in large rooms.
Intelligent light thanks to MyLight
Controlling light and adapting it to individual needs - this is possible with MyLight. All you need is your smartphone or tablet, the free Casambi app for control via Bluetooth and Foscarini luminaires equipped with a MyLight module. These are automatically recognised by the app when switched on. Brightness and colour temperature can then be regulated and a wide variety of lighting compositions created. A timer function starts programmed scenes, even if the smartphone is not currently switched on.
