Plass Table Lamp transports the great appeal, exciting presence and magical luminosity of Plass – a project that as its name suggests is a combination of plastic and glass – into a smaller dimension. The familiar image of a Murano pearl is interpreted on a different scale, using a 21st century material and process: rotationally moulded polycarbonate. As a result of the technology used, the finishes have slight irregularities that recall the imperfections of glass, underlined by the dual light source. Plass resembles a glass pearl hit by the sun’s rays, but here the light comes from within, rather than from outside, refracted by the incisions on the surface. Plass table lamp is available in blue or gray. Manufactrured by Foscarini.
Designed in 2015.
Overall Dimensions: 13.3" Diameter, 20" H
Bulb Information: One max 150W W26 bulb (not included)

Foscarini
Foscarini was founded in 1981 on the Italian island of Murano near Venice. Given its location, its early production pieces were logically focused primarily on blown glass. By the late 1980s, Carlo Urbinati and Alessandro Vecchiat (both had previously worked as designers for Foscarini) took over management of the company and expanded its mission to include research and experimentation in a range of materials other than glass – molded polyethelyene, aluminum, polycarbonate, even Kevlar thread and silicon-coated metal. This commitment to innovation through materials has led to successful collaborations with a number of renowned architects and designers over the past few decades including Ferruccio Laviani, Tom Dixon, Aldo Cibic, Piero Lissoni, Marc Sadler, James Irvine, Karim Rashid, Patricia Urquiola, Luca Nichetto, and Valerio Bottin. Foscarini has received numerous, prestigious awards and many of its designs are now in the permanent collections of several museums around the world.
