Story
Bands that reflect and diffuse
The design consists of asymmetrical bands, and warm light filters between them. The bands overlap and are dynamically irregular, so they reflect the light inward and spread it outward, with a sunny brightness and a graphic impact.
A forceful presence of minimal depth
The wall lamp has a forceful theatrical presence and a strong scenic presence, while its depth stays reduced at 14 cm. It is a design by Vicente Garcia Jimenez for Foscarini.
