Planet suspension lamp by Foscarini.
Is it an unknown moon ? An astronaut's helmet ? The external shell of a creature from another dimension ? Planet is most certainly not your traditional lamp, but rather an unconventional illuminating object : another successful result of Foscarini's research activities.
The initial challenge was to create a fabric lamp that was completely empty and without an inner frame. The idea was to create a load-bearing seam, which would be simultaneously structural and decorative. Inspiration came from a system devised for the "smart clothing" used by astronauts, where external embroidery stitched with a special yarn allows the suit to adhere to the body, retaining total flexibility and freedom of movement, even in zero gravity.
By reinterpreting this technology - conceived for containing and used here for supporting - Foscarini reinvented a familiar spherical object called Planet. A special Yarn has been sewn into the fabric surface which, when exposed to high temperatures, changes its molecular structure, stiffing it into a support.
This material, depending on the colour, also marks the personality of the lamp. Like the surface of the moon, the embroidered lines resemble the rifts and mountains of this luminous body. The two sizes 80 cm and 55 cm blend seamlessly with any setting-from contract to domestic environments. With Planet, Foscarini continues to explore the universe of lightings, with thrilling and all-new results, every time.

Established in 1981 in Venice, Foscarini started out by exploring the opportunities offered by Murano glass. The management assures brand identity and coherence by careful conservation of its Murano heritage, whilst being ever ready to consider new objectives and to exercise its rare capacity for talent scouting. For the Company works with both established designers who've created new trends and with younger, emerging exponents of alternative styles and approaches. This makes for a highly original catalogue and one of the most varied in the sector. Over the years, the range of materials used has expanded to include satin-finished glass, polyethylene, wood and aluminium, as well as patented materials such as an exclusive textured glass-tissue and carbone fibre composite or Kevlar R. 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). | |||||||||||
