Description
Overview
Chapeaux M is a Foscarini table lamp from 2023, designed by Rodolfo Dordoni, giving direct and diffused light. A transparent glass base that nearly vanishes from view carries a luminous core and a freely placed metal diffuser. The diffuser is steel, with a glossy white finish on the inside that reflects light onto the tabletop.
Construction
Inside the glass body, an opal polycarbonate ampoule holds the technical lighting components and appears to float. On top, a small brushed aluminium rod serves as the touch dimmer, adjusting to three levels.

Story
Components reduced to a minimum
Chapeaux M keeps its parts to a minimum: a base of transparent glass, a luminous core and a metal diffuser set on top without a fixing.
Light onto the tabletop
The steel diffuser has a glossy white interior that sends the light down onto the surface below the lamp. When power comes back from a wall switch, the dimmer recalls its last level.
