Lumiere floor lamp, designed by Rodolfo Dordoni in 1990, a reinterpretation of the classic table lamp with lampshade.

It is a fine example of one of the tendencies of contemporary design, to reinterpret the "forms of memory": objects which are deeply rooted in their use and diffusion, whose reinterpretation appears quite recognizable and easy to accept. Dordoni captured this type of attention, forcing it in a technological direction with his metallic tripod solution and the new combination of materials.

Still one of Foscarini's top sellers, Lumiere is supported by a slender structure, at the top of which three incandescent bulbs are fastened one in front of the other to avoid casting shadows on the shade. The same tripod support, made in a single piece, diecast in a special aluminum alloy, finished and polished by hand, gives stability to a slightly flared glass shade held by a simple screw at the top.

Great care is taken to ensure the harmonious matching of two different materials. The choice of an essential form for the blown glass, acid-finished on the outer surface, is complemented by a careful study of colors to obtain diversified lighting effects: the inside layer remains white to favor reflection, whereas the outer layer becomes red to accent the light on the table top, or white, green or peach yellow for a diffused light in space.

This modern classic floor lamp focuses great attention on creativity and taste of innovation, out of the ordinary, and with highest care for details both of design and of functionality.

A perfect addition to your furniture collection, with class and elegance. With its modern look and feel, it can easily complement your existing decor. This modern floor lamp can be used as your living room lighting, bar area lighting, retail store lighting, decorative lighting, showroom lighting, hotel lighting, hallway lighting and more.
