Foscarini Tropico Ellipse Suspension Lamp

A technological and creative workshop that conceives, develops and produces not just lamps but pure emotions, in collaboration with many other designers from around the world. A company that is free, passionate, unconventional and right at the heart of the industry in which it thrives. This is Foscarini. The rings onto which the lozenge-shaped elements that form Tropico are hooked are inspired by the earth’s parallels. By this concept the name of this newly-conceived suspension lamp is inspired. Employing the decorative features of chandeliers with cut glass elements, Tropico’s volume is created by the repetition of a single linear element. 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 opaque ivory version recalls the almost ethic vision of an oriental lantern. The personality of the various shapes and finishes can be further emphasised by inserting one of the optional filters, with a choice of a cold blue tone or a warm orange tone. With Tropico Foscarini confirms its vocation of developing projects aimed at characterising spaces and encouraging interaction between the designer and the product. Four different versions – Sphera, Vertical, Bell and Ellipse – meet different design needs in the environment and can be used in composition to create great luminous scenographies.
