Aplomb Suspension by Foscarini

"Visible concrete is part of the expressive language of modern architecture and, with Aplomb, Foscarini introduces a model that uses this material with a spirit and technology that is entirely original. The challenge was to create an incredible leap of scale: from large architectural constructions to a little suspension lamp with a thickness of just a few millimetres at its finest point, using a material that is so inflexible. The challenge has been met with impeccable ""aplomb"", thanks to the use of special concrete that is particularly fluid in moulding and has a material effect that is both rough and, at the same time, elegant. Aplomb creates direct, precise lighting on occasional tables, peninsulas and counters, alone or in a multiple composition, with its presence as a small, yet important protagonist, also underlined by the different colours available: the natural grey of concrete, brown or white, created by combining pigments together with its exclusive mixture."

From the ashes of the Murano glass factories, Foscarini has been manufacturing contemporary lighting from its headquarters in Venice since 1981. Ideas, forms and materials light up and transform proposals and initiatives from international designers while carefully observing its Murano heritage. The colourful and affordable Binic Table Lamp from young designer, Ionna Vautrin or seasoned designer, Patricia Urquiola’s Caboche Umbre-Supsension Media are just two examples of how Foscarini works with both established designers and younger ones, which makes for a highly original and varied selection of products that is a rare exercise in trend-setting, research and scouting of new talent.
