Description
Overview
Tress Suspension is a lamp with diffused and direct light by Marc Sadler for Foscarini. It is described as a nest of light made of weaves and wrappings that act as both structure and decoration, and its light is mostly directed downward.
Construction
The shade is made by hand-guided craft winding of a ribbon of fibreglass-based composite, wound in a random yet orderly way and then liquid coated. In this size a chromed metal mount holds the shade on a single stainless steel suspension cable, with a transparent electrical cable. At the ceiling, a canopy with a galvanised metal bracket is covered in glossy chromed batch-dyed ABS.

Story
A nest of light
Tress Suspension is built from weaves and wrappings that serve as structure and decoration at once. A ribbon of composite material is wound in a random yet orderly way, in a craft process that leaves a strong scenic presence.
Lighting the area below
The lamp gives diffused and direct light, mostly directed downward, so it lights a specific area in the space under it.
