An iconic floor lamp, which won the ADI Compasso d’Oro Award together with the Tite suspension lamp, for its innovative mix of fibreglass and carbon thread or Kevlar®, technology which is used to make fishing rods and golf clubs, introduced by Foscarini for the first time in the lighting industry.
Marc Sadler
