Description
Overview
Carlo Urbinati and Alessandro Vecchiato designed Folio Wall as a way of looking again at blown glass through contemporary design culture. Its body resembles a single sheet of paper whose two corners are slightly folded, and it emits a warm, intense glow.
Construction
Hand-blown cased glass makes the diffuser, which is hot bent and then immersed in acid on the outside. Metal forms the mounting plate and mount that hold the lighting technology part. Its light is both reflected and diffused.

Story
A sheet of paper in glass
Folio Wall takes frosted blown glass, a traditional material, and gives it the look of paper: a light, delicate body with two corners slightly folded.
Reflected and diffused light
The wall lamp throws reflected and diffused light, and its glow is warm and intense. The glass is bent while hot and acid-etched on the outside.
