orbital floor lamp | foscarini

Designed by Ferruccio Laviani, 1992 
Made in Italy by Foscarini 

Orbital is a lighting object that decorates with the boldness of a sculpture;  a true icon of lighting design.  The lamp's structure is essentially made up of three parts:  a moveable tripod, made from laser-cut metal sheet, that supports a lacquered metal rod.  Five arms extend from the rod and on these arms are diffusers made from serigraphed, industrial glass.  Each slab has its own unique shape for a bold overall graphic effect which is particularly evident in the white version.  The colored diffusers, on the other hand, evoke a surrealist painting when the lamp is switched off.  When the lamp is switched on these mosaic glass strips create an illusion.  The diffusers are satin-finished on the outside to give texture to the color and enhance the shapes but glossy on the inside to reflect the light.
