Mite Anniversario

Overview

Mite Anniversario gives diffused and indirect light from the floor. Marc Sadler devised it for Foscarini to mark twenty years since the ADI Compasso d'Oro.

Construction

A handmade process applies a carbon thread onto a glass fabric. The thread follows a spiral that becomes denser as it converges towards the base, and the lamp body has a matte finish. The black marble base is crossed by irregular white and pale grey veins. The lighting part gives a wide light distribution and total illumination of the diffuser, and the black cable carries a dimmer for gradual brightness adjustment with an ON/OFF switch.

Made for the Compasso d'Oro anniversary

Mite Anniversario was created to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the ADI Compasso d'Oro award, and the original Mite dates from 2000. Marc Sadler devised this black edition with a matte body.

Thread, marble and light

The carbon thread is applied by hand to glass fabric and gathers more densely towards a black marble base with intense black colour and white and pale grey veins. The lighting part is made for wide light distribution and total illumination of the diffuser.
