Gem Floor Lamp

Designed by Ludovica + Roberto Palomba, Gem turns a simple globe of blown glass into something almost geological. Each diffuser is hand-shaped while the glass is still molten, imprinting it with a crystalline ripple pattern that catches daylight like water and glows at night with a soft, ember-like warmth. The shade sits on a slender metal stem and a low, satin-finished base—details kept deliberately quiet so the textured glass can do all the talking. Switch Gem on and the relief work comes alive: light pools inside every ridge, then filters outward in a calm, even wash that flatters living-room corners, bedroom reading nooks, or hotel lounges. Three stem/ base finishes (satin gold, warm bronze, or matte graphite) let you tune the mood from understated elegance to dramatic contrast, and the dimmable E26/LED source makes it easy to shift from evening ambience to practical task lighting. Standing just over five feet tall with a discreet footprint, Gem is substantial enough to anchor a seating area yet refined enough to slip into smaller spaces. Pair it with the matching table lamp or wall sconce from Foscarini’s Mix & Match series for a cohesive glow that feels carved from light itself.
