Soffio

Overview

Soffio is a table lamp designed in 2018 by Ludovica and Roberto Palomba for Foscarini. It has a hand-blown glass diffuser in gradual shades from white to transparent, and gives a warm, intense, diffused light.

Construction

The diffuser is hand-blown glass with three areas of colour: a completely white upper section, a centre that shades from white to transparent, and an entirely transparent lower part. An aluminium disc on top works as a touch dimmer across its whole surface. Under the disc, a strip of LEDs wrapped around a thin aluminium tube sits behind a cylindrical opaline polycarbonate diffuser, and a small hole with a transparent silicone cap makes a light point when the lamp is on. The cable is transparent and the transformer is on the plug.

Shading made by hand

Soffio is an elegant table lamp with an impressive size and a very discreet image. The shaded nuance of the diffuser is the result of craftsmanship, and every piece is unique.

The white glass produces soft area lighting, while the transparent glass functions as a pedestal for the upper part. The lamp gives a warm, intense light.
