Description
Overview
Ludovica+Roberto Palomba designed Rituals XL Ceiling for Foscarini as a blown glass ceiling lamp. Surface engravings incise the glass; the large size and the soft, warm glow define it.
Construction
Striping comes from a mould with negative decorations, whose pattern is transferred to the glass. Manual belt grinding and immersion in acid then emphasise the plaster-like effect. The ceiling mounting plate is made of epoxy powder coated metal.

Story
Paper lanterns in blown glass
The Rituals ceiling lamps translate the magical glow of Oriental rice paper lanterns into contemporary design made of blown glass. This XL version is the one with the generous dimensions.
Belt grinding and acid
An engraved surface begins in a striped mould. Hand grinding on a belt comes next, then an acid bath that gives the glass its plaster-like effect.
