A sculptural representation of simplicity, guided by design… Developed by Italian designer Francesco Meda, the Bridge lamp is featured in the collection of the Triennale Design Museum. A true graphic symbol, Bridge is a symbol of continuity. The concept was built on a natural and instinctive gesture, almost evoking an ancestral game: a hand which folds a sheet of paper and transforms it into a 3D object. Bridge is entirely made from a single sheet of brass or steel, 1.2 mm thick, laser-cut and folded with no joints. The lamp features an exceptional 3D design and structure, enhanced with folds on the sides. The central body forms a "light point", resting on four side points. The simple nature of the concept is also reflected in the user interface: the lamp is switched on and off with a simple hand gesture, requiring no direct physical contact. The Bridge lamp features a touch-sensitive switch: an infrared optical sensor in the centre, switches the lamp on or off when a hand moves close to it. With an LED strip, the Bridge lamp projects direct light onto the surface it's placed on. Bridge is a step away from the typical lamp concept, becoming a decorative and sculptural element. Originally self-produced in 2014, in a slightly different version to that found in the Foscarini catalogue, Bridge is part of the permanent collection of the Museum of Design of the Triennale di Milano - an illustration of the constant commitment of Foscarini to his quest of making contemporary design accessible to a wider audience.
