Details

Supernova is a newly-born star, but its name also means “very, really, extremely new”. Just like this light whose volume is determined by two-dimensional surfaces. Supernova is a sphere, made up of 7 pairs of discs of different forms, attached in sequence onto a slightly curved suspended metal bar. And the bulb in the middle is like the incandescent nucleus of a planet. It is a full volume that is largely created by the empty spaces between the discs. The discs are made of aluminium, a material which gives this soft volume a high-tech feel and avoids glare, offering a diffused illuminance in all directions.

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.
