Tress Stilo Suspension Lamp

COLLECTION DESCRIPTION

Details

The seduction of a woman’s tress was the initial inspiration for the Tress family of lamps. This design-come-true by Foscarini was achieved through the development of a completely original technological process, involving a fiberglass and resin tape woven with orderly casualness to become the structure and aesthetics of the lamp. Tress changes personality according to its colour: it is light and discrete in white, strong and decisive in black and volcanic and totemic in red, which makes the contrast between the interior and the exterior even more evident. Elongated, thin and slender, Tress Stilo like an exclamation mark or a tribal object has a strong and suave graphic design. In contrast to the highly technological innovation that went into its development, Tress Stilo’s shape recalls an artisanal, hand-made object. Its elongated silhouette is ideal to personalize the corner of a room and any other setting where a compact, yet visually strong lamp is required. The suspended version is also available with a Led light source for reduced energy use.

ABOUT DESIGNER

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.

ABOUT BRAND

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.
