Rituals 2

Overview

Ludovica+Roberto Palomba's Rituals 2 Table is a Foscarini lamp whose low and wide shape creates an intimate light. The creased surface of the blown glass, marked by thin engravings, softens it.

Construction

Stripes arrive on the glass from a mould with negative decorations; the glass is then belt-ground by hand and acid-immersed. The diffuser is carried by a tripod of die cast zinc alloy that is epoxy powder coated. A switch fitted on the transparent cable gives ON/OFF control, with a dimmer for gradual brightness adjustment.

Thin engravings recalling grinding

Skilled craft-based workmanship produces the creased surface of the blown glass, whose thin engravings echo the work of grinding.

Low and wide

The low and wide shape of this version makes an intimate light. A die cast zinc alloy tripod carries the diffuser, and a dimmer on the transparent cable allows gradual brightness adjustment. The lamp weighs 4.1 kg net.
