Description
Overview
Lumiere Grande is a table lamp that gives both direct and diffused light, designed by Rodolfo Dordoni in 1990 for Foscarini. It is a contemporary restyling of the classic bedside lamp, built from a blown glass diffuser and an aluminium tripod.

The tripod base is die cast aluminium, hand finished, and it has scratch-resistant silicone pads. The structure that houses the bulb is transparent polycarbonate at the top and opaline PMMA at the bottom, and the cable is transparent.

Story
From the bedside lamp to an icon
Lumiere reinterprets the classic bedside lamp in a contemporary key. Rodolfo Dordoni designed it in 1990, and the table lamp has become an icon of design.
Glass and tripod
Its character comes from the blown glass diffuser combined with an unmistakable aluminium tripod. When the lamp is switched on, the glass glows with light and warmth.
