Tivu Wall light - L 17 cm x H 13 cm by Foscarini

Jozeph Forakis presents Tivu : « Tivu is a tribute to the early days of television, when it was an extraordinary invention a revolution of domestic and everyday life. Millions of families waited with anticipation for the glass screen to light up and for the cathode tube to show images of a wonderful world. I have always though that the cathode tube was a lovely object and today it has become an icon. I wanted to celebrate it with a wall lamp that has a contemporary shape. The result is an illuminating object by a familiar and at the same time new design. The body of Tivu created in two shapes and two colours, is made up of a black and white rectangle with rounded corners that completely screens the light source, supported by a semi-transparent element through which lights spreads to the walls and the surrounding space. It can be placed in a range of different settings and used in many different ways. Tivu is completely closed and therefore protected from dust which makes it perfect for both contract and domestic spaces".

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.
