Tress Small Pendant Light by Foscarini is a new expression of the creative and functional possibilities of composite materials, already used for products that have become true Foscarini icons, like Mite. The result of two yearsメ research and development, created with an exclusive process, Tress is a weave of threads and resin that 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 Foscarini Tress collection is available in hanging versions, floor lamp, and table lamp. The Foscarini Tress changes personality according to its color: it is light and discrete in white, strong and decisive in black and volcanic and totemic in red, which makes the contrast between the interior and the exterior even more evident.
The hanging version directs the beam of light down, and if placed in succession, creates a pathway of innovative lighting effects that are ideal for large spaces. The table version, with its delicate weave of light and shade, decorates the surface it is placed on to complete the collection.
