Maki pendant lamp by Foscarini
Take two sheets of paper and roll them up together, creating something that resembles a seashell or a flower. A simple, instinctive and almost infantile gesture, this is a shape that tells a story-a simple and intuitive object both poetic and beguiling.
Maki was conceived by a spontaneous natural inspiration, becoming a design product only after a challenging development process. As if made of paper, two metallic sheets were rolled up and one slipped inside the other. Only with incisions, invisible when the lamp is assembled, could the creators obtain the proper play of light. The simple form of maki belies the complexity of its actual metal composition which plays with the immaterial nature of light integrating it as an important decorative element.
The side glare is filtered by the edges of the rolled-up metallic sheets, creating a dynamic yet soft effect while light is also cast directly down, as a soft spot beam. This dual luminous effect allows maki to be charming all alone or in linear compositions to illuminate counters and peninsulas. The white or pale grey color choice enhances the pureness of maki’s inspiration; its lightness and poetic appeal is a luminous idea in any domestic or communal setting.
The Foscarini keynote is research, into forms and materials, as well as ideas. Established in 1981 in Venice, Foscarini started out by exploring the opportunities offered by Murano glass. The management assures brand identity and coherence by wood and aluminium, as well as patented materials such as an exclusive textured glass-tissue and carbone fibre composite or Kevlar R.
The Foscarini collection is a collection of objects that express strong ideas and have their own personality. The collaboration with numerous, prominent designers, ignites their creativity and channeled their designs. A company with an agile production structure and efficient international distribution, Foscarini can guarantee it clients a high standard of service, as endorsed by the ISO 9001 certification obtained in 1996 (one of the first in the sector).
