FOGLIO WALL LAMPS IN BLACK AND WHITE BY TOBIA SCARPA FOR FLOS, ITALY 1980s
FOGLIO WALL LAMPS IN BLACK AND WHITE BY TOBIA SCARPA FOR FLOS, ITALY, 1980S
THIS ELEGANT PAIR OF FOGLIO WALL LAMPS WAS DESIGNED BY TOBIA SCARPA IN 1966 AND PRODUCED BY FLOS IN ITALY DURING THE 1980S. WITH ITS DECEPTIVELY SIMPLE CONSTRUCTION AND STRONG SCULPTURAL PRESENCE, THE FOGLIO HAS BECOME AN ICONIC EXAMPLE OF ITALIAN MODERNIST LIGHTING DESIGN.
EACH LAMP IS FORMED FROM A SINGLE SHEET OF CURVED METAL, FOLDED FORWARD AT BOTH ENDS TO CREATE ITS DISTINCTIVE THREE-DIMENSIONAL SHAPE. THE GLOSSY BLACK EXTERIOR CONTRASTS BEAUTIFULLY WITH THE WHITE INTERIOR, WHICH REFLECTS THE LIGHT AND PRODUCES A SOFT, WARM GLOW BOTH ABOVE AND BELOW THE LAMP. THE SCULPTURAL CURVES CREATE AN ESPECIALLY STRONG GRAPHIC EFFECT WHEN THE TWO LAMPS ARE DISPLAYED TOGETHER.
THE LAMPS REMAIN IN VERY GOOD ORIGINAL CONDITION, WITH ONLY VERY MINOR AGE-RELATED WEAR. THE ORIGINAL FLOS LABEL IS STILL PRESENT. A TIMELESS AND HIGHLY DECORATIVE PAIR OF ITALIAN DESIGN CLASSICS.
