A diffuser disc made from white plastic, a slim
shape that evokes a 33 rpm vinyl record. The name
given to this wall or ceiling lamp is Ellepi – an
Italian acronym for long playing. The
low-consumption light source follows the outline
of the central ring and diffuses a glow that dims
when moving closer to the outer shape of the
lamp. This creates an elegant dimming that
highlights the sophistication of the thicknesses
and proportions. Ellepi is subtle yet highly
effective, either on its own or in multiple
compositions.
After training in theatre design in Venice, Matilde Alessandra moves first to London, where she designs interiors and installations for several years. Then she settles in New York in 1999, where she begins to produce her first luminous pieces. Her work has since moved on to include installations to industrial design, but it is alwarys characterized by essencial shapes and bright colours.
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.
