TWIGGY GRID XLOUTDOOR

Outdoor table lamp with direct downward light. Diffuser and post in composite material on a fiberglass base painted with liquid. The diffuser is made of strips of composite material modeled manually on the mold; the superimposed ribbons create the braided surface, later painted by hand.

Foscarini and Marc Sadler’s passion for research into new technologies has given rise to iconic projects, such as Twiggy, an arch-shaped post in composite material on an enameled fiberglass base. For outdoor use, the project was redesigned entirely in the technical part of the lighting and in the aesthetics of the diffuser, which in the outdoor version of Grid is intertwined. The reading and table versions stand out successfully for their synthesis between the simplicity of the form and the marked personality: they have the same diffuser and the same post base, but the post develops vertically.
