How can you turn a neon tube – often perceived
as a cold object devoid of any personality – into
something poetic, sunny and fun? For instance,
you could wrap it up irregularly with tape, to
create a multitude of transparencies, overlaps and
luminous cuts. In its name and appearance, the
suspension lamp Jamaica infuses a feeling of
warmth, lightness and joie de vivre. A feeling
generated by its soft suspended volume, obtained
by a sheet of paper covered by a thin layer of
polymer, which gives it an appearance and texture
similar to parchment, and rolled around a central
axis, without enveloping it completely but instead
attached at the bottom to the housing of the light
source, free to illuminate the underlying surface
directly. Unique in its concept, Jamaica contains a
double light source: a direct and intense down
light, and a soft and diffused light all around it,
both of which are concealed from view. Truly
unique and versatile, it can be used in the most
diverse of settings in terms of size and style:
alone, to distinguish a room or a particular
situation, in multiple compositions to create
significant lighting scenes in larger settings.
Born in Austria, Marc Sadler is a French citizen who now lives in Milan. Graduated from the first course of “esthétique industrielle” at the Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Arts Décoratifs in Paris, he is dedicated to experimentation with plastic materials, perfecting the first ski-boot in thermoplastic material at the beginning of the ’70’s. He worked with the Italian Caber (then Lotto ) for several years becoming a specialist in sports design, subsequently co-operating with all the most important international companies in America, Asia, Japan and Europe. Thanks to his previous experience in researching and experimenting new materials and production processes he was able to put this knowledge to excellent use in various sectors. Today he continues to collaborate with leading manufacturers of furniture, lighting and accessories plus large and small electric appliances.
Foscarini focuses on developing new products but chooses only to put into production those that express new ideas. While inspiration is always valued, Foscarini’s development phase sometimes takes years of progressive research to analyze materials, shapes, processes and operating modes that sometimes lead to results drastically different from the initial concept.
This is why Foscarini lamps are so innovative yet built to weather the whim of trends and become true classics.
