Description
Overview
Twiggy Grid Outdoor Sospensione is the hanging lamp of the Twiggy Grid outdoor range by Marc Sadler for Foscarini. Its woven surface is designed to screen the intensity of the light source and gives direct down light.
Construction
Hand-plied composite ribbons make up the diffuser, a fibreglass-based composite with liquid coating. Tape overlaps create the weave, hand-coated later, and extra ribbon finishes the top and bottom edges. Light is produced by multichip LEDs round the rim of an aluminium frame, which dissipates heat; a PMMA sheet laser-engraved and transparent spreads it from the centre, and an opaline disc screens it. Stainless steel is used for the three suspension cables, and the electrical cable is black neoprene. A galvanised metal bracket and a polyester powder coated cover form the ceiling canopy.

Story
A woven surface for the outdoor Twiggy
Twiggy goes outdoors as a suspension lamp whose woven surface carries functional and image value. It screens the intensity of the source and builds a dialogue with surrounding forms.
From mould to coating
The weave comes from composite ribbons plied by hand onto the mould and overlapping one another, then coated by hand.
