Tress Floor

Overview

Tress Floor is a floor lamp with diffused and indirect light by Marc Sadler for Foscarini, designed in 2008. Fibreglass and resin are woven around the lamp like a ribbon and throw shapes, light and shadow into the room.

Construction

The shell is a fibreglass-based composite that is epoxy powder coated, with an upper parabola in aluminium. The Grande size has two separate light sources: one at the upper tip of the shell and one in the base, inside it. The lower source lights the interior and shows off the weave, and the upper source reflects up towards the ceiling.

Fibreglass and resin

Sadler's Tress Floor winds fibreglass and resin into a seemingly casual weave, which makes a play of light and shadow. The pattern is carried into the room by the light that passes through the openings.

Two controlled sources

In the Grande size the lower and upper sources have separate controls. A dimmer on the transparent cable adjusts the upper source gradually and also switches the lower one on and off.
