Rituals 3

Overview

Foscarini's Rituals 3 Suspension, by Ludovica+Roberto Palomba, is a blown glass pendant with a compact shape and a cosy glow. The Rituals lamps recall the paper lanterns used in Oriental culture.

Construction

Stripes on the glass are cast by a mould with negative decorations; it is then manually belt-ground and immersed in acid for the plaster-like effect. Hanging hardware is a stainless steel cable beside a transparent electrical cable. The canopy above joins a bracket of galvanised metal to a cover in matt white ABS, dyed in the batch.

Venetian glass, Oriental lanterns

The Rituals lamps recall the paper lanterns used in Oriental culture, yet they are blown glass, a material with a thousand-year Venetian tradition.

Compact shape, cosy glow

Compact in shape and intimate in its glow, the Rituals 3 suspension lamp has glass that is striped in a mould, ground by hand on a belt and then treated in acid.
