Fold Wall light - Fluorescent by Foscarini

Reflecting on the concept of a screen, we devised devised Fold, a wall lamp of extreme formal simplicity that is so adaptable it can be inserted into a vast array of environments of different styles and functions. The design has been developed from a basic gesture: turning a two dimensional sheet of paper into three-dimensions by simply folding it in the middle. This search for simplicity has an almost abstract graphic result that conceals its careful research into design and technology- research that is clearly perceptible but not flaunted. Fold is a thin, softly concave sheet slightly protruding from the wall to hide and screen the light source without compromising its function. When switched off the graphic outline of the diffuser takes center stage. When Fold is switched on the opaque, polycarbonate diffuser fully screens the light source and the large glow projected onto the back wall emphasizes its soft shape.

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.
