Description
Overview
In Marc Sadler's Twice as Twiggy, Foscarini takes the thin, flexible line of the Twiggy icon and makes it oversized in a large floor lamp for Foscarini. A system of counterweights allows the height of the lampshade to be adjusted. The shade holds two LED boards, one for direct down light and one for diffused up light.
Construction
Diffuser and rod are fibreglass-based composite in a liquid coating, and a large cone in painted aluminium makes up the body. A PMMA piece, prismatic in pattern and rounded at its edges, tops the cone, and holds the first of its two LED boards; a PMMA disc carrying the brand name covers the top board. A large round coloured base of epoxy powder coated metal stands on the floor, with the LED transformer in a metal and steel ballast beneath it. A dimmer on the transparent cable works as the ON/OFF switch too.

Story
An oversized Twiggy
In Twice as Twiggy the thin, flexible line of the Twiggy design icon becomes oversized. The floor lamp is a large one, and the counterweight system lets the height of the lampshade be chosen.
Two LED boards
The shade has two LED boards, which give a direct down light and a diffused up light, from the same lampshade that the counterweights raise or lower.
