Foscarini
This world renowned designer lighting company was established in Venice in 1981 and has been pushing boundaries ever since. Working with both established designers and exciting, young emerging talents, the collection of Foscarini lighting stands alone.
Contemporary Interior Lighting
The rich Italian roots of this prestigious brand are an important influence on their work and largely responsible for the initial success of this design house. Foscarini hit the scene with their distinctive Murano glasswork. This Venetian art glass featured prominently in their early lighting collections and is still evident in more recent pieces.
Designer Wall & Ceiling Lights
Nowadays, Foscarini's beautiful floor and table lamps and wall and ceiling lights have a subtle contemporary flavour. Featuring atmospheric shades of colour and elegant shapes, the range has even been expanded to offer stunning modern exterior lighting. The oversized Havana floor lamp has been expertly revamped so that you can enjoy the same quality Italian styling and a space-age glow, but from the comfort of your patio or back garden.
Modern Floor Lamps
As with all Foscarini contemporary lighting chic designer style is married effortlessly with practicality. This fearless design house uses all sorts of interesting materials such as wood, aluminium and polyethylene. Such is the emphasis on product research that they have even patented a number of their own specialist materials, including a carbon fibre composite of Kevlar R and an interestingly textured glass tissue.
World Famous Designers
This Italian design house has an enviable portfolio of designers whose diverse range of talents help to make Foscarini lighting so distinctive.
