Description
Overview
Uptown Floor is a Foscarini floor lamp from 2019, designed by Ferruccio Laviani, giving indirect and semi-diffused light. It is iconic and colourful, a piece of luminous architecture that draws its inspiration from metropolitan skyscrapers.

Three transparent PMMA caps secure the three elements at the top. The base holds a metal ballast covered with polished stainless steel. The COB LEDs are housed in an aluminium plate and protected by an anti-glare metal frame.

Story
A lamp-sculpture drawn from skyscrapers
Uptown Floor is a totemic lamp-sculpture with great visual impact. The composition of three sheet-glass shapes is already striking when switched off, and when switched on it fills with light that is projected upwards. Ferruccio Laviani designed it in 2019.
A skyline photography project
Uptown: City of Light is a photography project that pays homage to the skyline of New York and the Uptown floor lamp.
