Description
Overview
Twiggy Wood Lettura is a floor lamp by Marc Sadler for Foscarini, with direct and indirect light. The diffuser is made of two overlapping sheets of limed maple oak, with a bamboo ring a few millimetres wide at the top and the bottom to reinforce the circumference.
Construction
The rod is a fibreglass-based composite with a liquid coating, and the base is round metal with an epoxy powder coating. The supplied set of four counterweights slots in above the diffuser to set the height. The transparent cable carries a dimmer that sets the light level gradually and also works as the ON/OFF switch.

Story
Wood for the diffuser
The design joins the lightness of an icon among designer floor lamps with the warmth of wood. Two sheets of limed maple oak overlap to form the diffuser, and a thin bamboo ring at each end reinforces its circumference.
Rod, base and dimmer
The fibreglass-based composite rod is liquid coated and stands on a round, epoxy powder-coated metal base. A dimmer on the transparent cable sets the intensity gradually, and the same control switches the lamp on and off.
