Rituals 3

Overview

Ludovica+Roberto Palomba's Rituals 3 Table, made by Foscarini, has a small blown glass diffuser. Horizontal lines across the creased glass filter and modulate the light into a warm and vibrant glow.

Construction

A negatively decorated mould repeats its stripes on the glass, which is then ground by hand on a belt and acid-immersed for a plaster-like effect. Underneath is a tripod of die cast zinc alloy with epoxy powder coating. A switch fitted on the transparent cable turns the lamp ON/OFF, and a dimmer allows gradual brightness adjustment.

Creased glass, horizontal lines

Horizontal lines cross the creased surface of the small blown glass diffuser and modulate the intensity of the light, for a warm and vibrant glow.

Tripod and surface finishing

Zinc alloy forms the tripod, with an epoxy powder coating. For the glass, stripes come from a mould, followed by hand belt grinding and an acid immersion.
