Twiggy Pendant Light by Foscarini, naturally elegant and simplistic in design, was hailed a modern day Arco when it was first launched in 2006. Twiggy's instantly recognizable frame moulded from composite lacquered material with a fibreglass base is available in four bold color finishes of white, black, yellow, and red.
The designer believes that the simple shape and flexibility of the material's performance makes Twiggy unique and different from the other products on the market: The material is a carbon/fibreglass mix, put together with a binding resin. It has a high mechanical resistance and is extremely light and ductile. The fact that it is ductile enables the creation of shapes that have been 'stretched' to the very limit and to obtain unusually sized diffusers. The flexibility of the material defines the ample and essential curve of the arm that carries the light source from the base, which is height adjustable thanks to a system of counterweights, and length adjustable with a set of arm extensions.
Marc Sadler designed Twiggy pendant Light exclusively for Foscarini, who pride themselves on developing successful partnerships with architects and designers with different degrees of professional experience and creative flair. Director Carlo Urbinati says: We are very lucky to have collaborated with a variety of extremely talented designers throughout the years. When selecting pieces for the collection, first and foremost, we choose the product and the concept behind each piece rather than the name behind the design. This is one of the companyメs main characteristics and, together with a desire to continue to be innovative, it has led us to create a collection of lamps with very strong character and personality.
