Description
Overview
Dated 2016, Buds 3 Suspension is a Foscarini pendant lamp by Rodolfo Dordoni that gives diffused light. The diffuser is hand-blown cased glass, white inside and coloured outside, with a glossy finish. Thanks to the straw-yellow interior, the warm white version looks ivory-toned when lit and white when off.
Construction
A transparent injection-moulded polycarbonate part supports the diffuser. Stainless steel forms the suspension cable, next to a transparent electrical cable, and the canopy is glossy white ABS.

Story
Blown glass crafted in five layers
In Buds 3 Suspension the blown glass diffuser is the main feature, carefully crafted in five layers and compact in size. It diffuses warm light into its surroundings.
White off, ivory on
The white interior is combined with a straw-yellow layer in the warm white version, which reads as white when the lamp is switched off and as an ivory colour when it is turned on.
