Foscarini Pendant lamps
Foscarini pendant lamps are among the most recognisable projects in Italian lighting design. Foscarini was founded in 1981 on the island of Murano — the name is a tribute to the Venetian patrician family of the same name — and over the years moved beyond glass, experimenting with materials and shapes that made its pendants international icons. At AGOF Store every model is original, with the official guarantee and a certificate of authenticity.
The iconic pendant models
Aplomb, designed by Paolo Lucidi and Luca Pevere in 2010, brought concrete into decorative lighting with an essential, recognisable shape. Caboche, by Patricia Urquiola and Eliana Gerotto in 2005, arranges methacrylate spheres into a luminous ring that recalls a pearl bracelet. Twiggy, by Marc Sadler, reinterprets the arc floor lamp as a pendant; Gregg, by Ludovica and Roberto Palomba, plays on organically shaped blown glass. These are lamps made to define a room, not just to light it.
How to choose a Foscarini pendant
Height matters relative to the surface below: over a dining table a pendant should hang lower to light without glare, while an entrance or a stairwell needs more space. Consider the diameter against the area to be lit and the diffuser style: glass gives a soft, diffused light, opaque materials a more contained, directional one. Many models are dimmable, so you can adapt the intensity to the moment.
