Tobia Wall

Overview

Tobia Wall is a LED wall lamp with direct up and down light by Ferruccio Laviani for Foscarini, designed in 2019. It is made from a single curved aluminium rod and is offered in either a wall power supply version or a version with an external cable.

Construction

The aluminium rod is curved and then liquid coated or gilded. The wall mount is metal in the same colour as the rod. COB LEDs at the two ends of the rod throw a very broad beam of light upwards and downwards. The cable version has a white external cable and a foot switch, with the transformer on the plug.

Simplicity with character

Ferruccio Laviani designed Tobia Wall in 2019 as a wall lamp that shows how simplicity can have character. One curved rod carries the light, and the metal wall mount takes the colour of the rod.

Emphasise or camouflage

The colours of Tobia Wall are chosen either to emphasise the lamp or to camouflage its presence on the wall. The light leaves from either end of the rod, upwards and downwards.
