Description
Overview
A thin rod rises to a characteristic woven diffuser in Twiggy Grid Outdoor Lettura, the reading floor lamp (Lettura means reading) designed by Marc Sadler for Foscarini. Its formal concept of lightness is expressed through that slender stem, and the light is direct and directed downward.
Construction
The rod and the diffuser use fibreglass-based composite material with a liquid coating. Ribbons of that composite go onto the mould by hand for the diffuser; they cross to form the weave, which is hand-coated, and more ribbon wraps both edges. An aluminium frame, working as a dissipator, holds the multichip LEDs along its perimeter, and a laser-engraved PMMA sheet, transparent, in the middle spreads their light behind an opaline disc. A round polyester powder coated metal base stands on the ground. The black neoprene cable, rated for outdoors, has a transformer on it and no push-button panel.

Story
Lightness with a woven diffuser
Lightness, in Sadler's formal concept, becomes a floor lamp with a thin rod under a woven diffuser. The reading version is named Lettura, and the diffuser it carries is woven.
A diffuser built from ribbons
The woven look is built from composite ribbons put onto the mould by hand and coated by hand once they overlap.
