Description
Overview
Marc Sadler designed Twiggy Ceiling, a Foscarini ceiling lamp with an arm that lights directly and indirectly. A slender, flexible arc carries an ample and essential shade, and the arm swivels to place the light point where it is wanted.
Construction
The diffuser and the rod are a fibreglass-based composite, liquid coated. A translucent polycarbonate disc closes the shade at the top, and a PMMA disc whose inner face is polyprismatic closes it below. The round canopy is epoxy powder coated metal. Height of the diffuser is set with four counter-weights, and the rod keeps a fixed length.
Specifications
- Bulbs: three E27 sockets, up to 77 W each, dimmable (bulbs not supplied)
- Colours: two
- Mass and marks: 4.6 kg; CE, Class I, IP20 rating
Story
A slender arc and an ample shade
Twiggy Ceiling by Marc Sadler pairs a thin, flexible arched line with a large, elemental lampshade. The arm gives maximum flexibility in decentralising the light point. The lamp lights the zone below it directly, and its ambient light is reflected on the ceiling. Four counter-weights supplied with the lamp set the diffuser height, while the rod length stays fixed.
