Description
Overview
Rituals XL Suspension is a blown glass pendant by Ludovica+Roberto Palomba for Foscarini. Incised with surface engravings, it stands out for its generous dimensions and soft, warm glow, and the horizontal lines modulate the light into a chiaroscuro effect.
Construction
Its fixed blown glass takes stripes from a negatively decorated mould, followed by manual belt grinding and acid immersion for a plaster-like look. A matt transparent polycarbonate ring nut is built into the glass. A stainless steel cable carries the suspension, and the electrical cable is transparent. Its ceiling fixing consists of a galvanised metal bracket plus a cover of matt white batch-dyed ABS.

Story
Engraved glass and a warm glow
Surface engravings incise the blown glass, and the pendant gives a soft, warm glow. Its horizontal lines modulate the light and create a particular chiaroscuro effect.
Generous dimensions
The pendant stands out for its generous dimensions. Mould-striped glass is finished by belt grinding and an acid etch. A matt transparent ring nut is built into the glass.
