Description
Overview
Gioia is a wall lamp designed by Andrea Anastasio for Foscarini, a jewel created to adorn a wall. A shape in marble sits at the centre of a disk of transparent PMMA, and the two parts are free to move, like the swaying rhythm of a pendant or an earring.
Construction
A single ring joins the two materials, and the composition is attached to the wall by a small pin. The ring and the support are polished brass, and an opaline polycarbonate capsule covers the LED board. A round external cable covered with grey fabric carries a black switch, and the plug is black. The wiring can be removed.
Specifications
- Build: PMMA, marble, polycarbonate, polished brass, aluminium
- Light source: LED included, 10 W, 2700 K, 790 lm, CRI above 90, dimmable TRIAC

Story
A jewel that moves
Gioia was created as a jewel for the wall. The marble and the PMMA disk are separate parts that move freely, and together they recall the wavering rhythm of an earring or a pendant.
Two materials, one ring
The lamp is made of a marble shape and a transparent PMMA disk joined by a single ring, enhanced by fine craftsmanship.
