Foscarini Table lamps

Foscarini table lamps are the tabletop models of the brand founded in Murano, Venice, in 1981, which combines the Venetian glass tradition with material research and contemporary design. Unlike other Murano makers, Foscarini has no furnace of its own: it develops each project with specialised suppliers, a production freedom that has taken it from blown glass to polymers and composite fibres. At AGOF Store every piece is original, with the official manufacturer warranty and a certificate of authenticity. They belong to the broader category of design table lamps, which brings together every brand.

The iconic models

The Lumiere, designed by Rodolfo Dordoni in 1990, was Foscarini's first major success in decorative lighting: a blown-glass diffuser on a stemmed base, with warm, enveloping light. The Caboche, by Patricia Urquiola and Eliana Gerotto, is made of transparent PMMA spheres that catch and multiply the light like a string of pearls, a decorative piece more than a functional one. The Birdie, by Ludovica and Roberto Palomba, sets a light shade on slender metal stems, for a discreet, contemporary presence.

How to choose

Foscarini table lamps are above all ambient light and decorative objects rather than task lamps. For a bedside table or living room, the Lumiere gives warm, diffused light (2700–3000K) that furnishes the room even when off; the Caboche is a sculptural accent for consoles, hallways and reception spaces; the Birdie suits shelves and desks where a light presence is wanted. If you need a directional task lamp with neutral light, consider other collections in the catalogue.

Why buy the original

A Lumiere is the Foscarini Lumiere, not a lookalike replica: only the original uses the materials and craftsmanship set by the design, meets the safety standards and holds its value over time. Every lamp ships with the official manufacturer warranty, a certificate of authenticity, insured and tracked delivery (free above the cart threshold), 30-day returns and payment in three instalments.

Frequently asked questions

Are the Foscarini table lamps sold by AGOF Store original?
Yes. Every lamp is original, with the official manufacturer warranty and a certificate of authenticity confirming its provenance.

Are Foscarini table lamps suitable for a desk?
They are designed above all as ambient light and decorative objects. Desk use calls for directional neutral light (3500–4000K) with high CRI: for that, consider dedicated task lamps.

What is the Caboche made of?
The Caboche by Patricia Urquiola and Eliana Gerotto is made of transparent PMMA (acrylic) spheres mounted on a steel structure, which diffuse and multiply the light.
