Description
Overview
Tutù Wall is a wall lamp by Valerio Bottin for Foscarini. Like a graceful veil of blown glass, it can be directed up or down, which gives two different decorative and lighting effects. On the wall it releases a bold beam of up and down light, and through the diffuser it projects a warm light into its surroundings.
Construction
The diffuser is hand-blown cased glass, made by a glass blowing procedure without turning the glass in the mould (called stationary). Its inner face is white and its outer face coloured, in a glossy finish. The plate that fixes the lamp to the wall, together with its mount, holds the lighting technology and is die cast zamak with an epoxy powder coating. The decorative glass support rods are brushed aluminium. The glass can be adjusted in two positions.

Story
A veil of blown glass
Valerio Bottin designed the Tutù wall lamp for Foscarini in 2001. Its glass is a graceful veil of blown glass.
Up or down
The lamp can be directed up or down, and each position gives a different decorative and lighting effect. It releases a bold beam on the wall in both directions and projects a warm light through the diffuser.
