Description
Overview
Allegretto Assai Suspension is a gold-coloured suspension lamp by Atelier Oï for Foscarini, from 2009. Slim metal silhouettes form three-dimensional shapes in space through the force of gravity. Its light is diffused, directed downward and reflected onto the ceiling.
Construction
The frame is chromed metal and the rods are full aluminium, epoxy powder coated, anchored to the mount with small metal rings. Three stainless steel cables suspend the lamp, with a transparent electrical cable. Over the ceiling sits a canopy built from a galvanised metal bracket and a glossy chromed ABS cover, batch-dyed.

Story
Shapes drawn by gravity
The lamp is a harmonious blend of slim metal silhouettes. Gravity acts on the rods to give them their three-dimensional shape in the air.
A golden glow
The gold colour gives the Assai suspension a precious glow, and the light it casts goes down and bounces off the ceiling. The rods are anchored to the mount with small metal rings, and three stainless steel cables hold the lamp up.
