Allegretto Vivace Suspension

Overview

Atelier Oï drew Allegretto Vivace for Foscarini in 2009. A copper-plated finish gives this designer lamp a warm, charming personality, and the light it casts is diffused, aimed down and thrown back by the ceiling.

Construction

Rods of full aluminium with an epoxy powder coating hang from a chromed metal frame. Small metal rings hold each rod to the mount. Suspension is by three stainless steel cables with a transparent electrical cable, and the ceiling canopy pairs a galvanised bracket with a glossy chrome ABS cover.

A copper finish with a warm, charming personality

Allegretto Vivace wears a copper-plated finish. That finish gives the lamp its warm and charming character, and the slim silhouettes shape three-dimensional forms with plays of light and shadow.

Light that goes down, then returns from the ceiling

The lamp gives diffused light directed downward and reflected onto the ceiling. Its metal lines design the light and emit sounds when touched.
