Details

Tuareg's structure is inspired by man-made architecture which is nevertheless bound to the world of nature with materials such as branches and cane according to an instinctive, dynamic creative logic. It is chaos turned order, non-traditional geometry echoing a work of land art. By means of a complex industrialisation process, this initial idea took the form of a three dimensional composition of aluminium tubes creating a spectacularly powerfully graphic effect. LED light sources have been incorporated into the extremities of three of these elements which can be switched on and off separately and adjusted 350 degrees in order to vary the light effect and the lamp's possible uses. The structure has been made even more minimalist by integrated touch switches and the system used to hide the power cables within tubular elements. A formal totem-like presence highlighted by the expressive power of the lamp's three colour variants: a bright orange which echoes the industrial hues of anti-rust paints, black chrome which evokes precious metals and a new matte white finish that creates a strong graphic contrast with the well-designed technical parts that remain in black . Like a sculptural decoration, Tuareg is the ideal centrepiece for an important reception space in both public and private spaces and in multiple compositions creating veritable lighting installations too.

Born in Cremona in 1960, Laviani attends the International Professional Institute for the Arts and the Violin Making of Cremona and graduates in 1978. He later attends the School of Architecture, at the Politecnico di Milano where he graduates in 1986, while attending at the same time the Scuola Politecnica di Design in Milan from 1982 and graduates in 1984. Laviani’s work mainly focuses on art direction for companies, industrial products and retail spaces. Since 1991, he has been the art director for Kartell and collaborated with companies such as Flos, De Padova, Foscarini, Moroso, Society (Limonta), Emmemobili in the creation of the design concept for retail spaces and set-ups.

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.
