Fabulous Foscarini Lighting by Giulio Lacchetti

Foscarini is a lighting company that has been going strong since 1983 and they have some truly stunning items in many of their collections.

Foscarini’s lighting products seem to embody all the things that make luxury lighting so impressive but they manage not to be over the top or vulgar at the same time.

In this post we will be focusing on one of their most popular light ranges Tropico which was created in collaboration with the designer Giulio Lacchetti.

Here is what Foscarini has to say about the Tropico lighting range

“Tropico is a modular system that enables the easy alteration of a mass produced product to create luminous hanging lamps in different shapes and sizes. Inspired by traditional crystal chandeliers, Tropico is composed of a series of small faceted pieces that form a larger whole; like classic cut crystal, these pieces are capable of catching and throwing light and shadow in a magical fashion.”

Whilst the designer of the product Lacchetti said “Part of my vision was to suggest a lamp that was inspired by traditional Murano glass chandeliers—a bridge-building object that would be strongly rooted in the contemporary world but which would evoke a common memory and thus, a connection with the past,”

It seems that the partnership of Lacchetti and Foscarini was a match made in heaven because of the way their ideas fit together so well. Foscarini describe themselves as a company “Offering lighting designed to improve our environment, both in terms of aesthetic values and of quality of light, is the objective of Foscarini. The company is renowned for its innovation pursued through collaboration with high-profile designers, research and experimentation with materials. Founded in 1983 by Carlo Urbinati and Alessandro Vecchiato, Foscarini has a product-oriented corporate culture. Having the essential function of producing light, Foscarini’s lamps each exhibit a distinctive personality that shines whether it is illuminated or not.”

Interior Deluxe who are stockists of contemporary light fixtures from some of the world famous luminary enterprises in Italy, know that when it comes to style it is hard to out pass the Italian art and craftsmanship ability. This is why they have chosen to promote contemporary light fixtures that are made in Italy.

Incorporating contemporary light fixtures into an interior is akin to adding the finishing touch or the “cherry on top” as the saying goes. It is the great Italian Masters like Michael Angelo or Leonardo da Vinci who set the tone and standard to meet for today’s designers and assemblers of contemporary light fixtures in Italy.

Contemporary light fixtures in the Interior Deluxe collection are suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. When utilizing contemporary light fixtures outdoors, areas of the building, garden and swimming pool can be dramatized to create an unsurpassable mood and mystery. The unlit outdoor area at night is flat and has no dimension to it.

The lighting opportunities derived from the outdoor contemporary light fixtures available from Interior Deluxe are both elegant and practical. One example from their contemporary light fixtures collection that is a must to share about, is the Foscarini Havana outdoor floor lamp designed by Jozeph Forakis in 2005.

The name of this model is the “Havana Outdoor”, and contemporary light fixtures of this type have a simple, natural shape that is perfect for lighting vast areas, enhancing them with a presence that integrates perfectly with garden panoramas and is ideal for lighting pathways and drives. When used in a composition contemporary light fixtures like the “Havana Outdoor” provide vista planes and field depth. Furthermore this model was chosen by New York’s Museum of Modern Art (MOMA) for its permanent contemporary light fixtures design collection.

Contemporary light fixtures for the pool or deck area can be fun and yet maintain overall elegance. If you are going to utilize the pool and surrounding area at night some of the Interior Deluxes’ contemporary light fixtures are just fabulous.
