The seduction of a woman’s tress wash 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
crimson, which makes the contrast between the
interior and the exterior even more evident. In the
floor version the weave includes the power cables
and acts at the same time as the structure,
decoration and screen, a never before seen
interplay of full and empty spaces, light and
shadow. The light spread through the lamp
produces a particularly attractive effect, thanks to
two separate light sources: the one in the lower
position completely illuminates the interior and
highlights the graphic presence of the weave,
while the upper light produces an illuminated
reflection towards the ceiling.
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.
