Foscarini Tropico Ellipse Lamp


Foscarini Tropico Ellipse Lamp

Tropico Ellipse was designed by Giulio Iacchetti for Foscarini Italy.
Assembly is required: lamp kit contains small parts which need assembly.
Tropico is a collection of lamps in various shapes and sizes which play with light and shadow. Composed of diamond-shaped individual modules, the decorative features recall a classic crystal chandelier, with its polished glass elements. The diamond-shaped individual modules are available in either a clear crystalline "ice" version, with the clarity and light transmission, or in an opaque, off version, which gives a warm, aged and exotic-looking effect. Tropico allows for a choice between a cool violet or warm orange to create completely different moods. Tropico has a decidedly sculptural presence, although it remains easy to interpret. It produces an all embracing, atmospheric light, thanks to the inner cylinder that filters and spreads the luminous fluorescent flow. The finishes available give two strongly contrasting effects: the ice version lets the light through, while the ivory version- which underlines the material and decorative effect of the element - recalls the almost ethnic vision of an oriental lantern.
