Tartan

Overview

Tartan Ceiling is a Ludovica and Roberto Palomba design for Foscarini that unites practicality and aesthetics in a single ceiling lamp. Its glass is open at the base, so direct light falls onto the surface below while diffused light comes through the glass.

Construction

The glass is blown and acid-etched, with reliefs. A mould with vertical and horizontal incisions shapes it. Coated metal and ABS form the mount, and its smaller ring nut can be glimpsed discreetly.

Practicality and aesthetics in one ceiling lamp

The ceiling Tartan is blown glass with strong character that evokes the famous Scottish fabric. Folds and lines running over the surface create a graphic play of light and shadow.

The mount stays in the background

The mount in coated metal and ABS has a smaller ring nut that can be glimpsed discreetly, making the glass the main feature of the space. The base of the glass is open, and that opening directs light to the surface underneath.
