Inspired by Murano glass beads, the Foscarini Plass Grande Pendant bridges the Venetian roots of the Foscarini brand with the constant exploration in to new materials, creating a beautiful object with dazzling illumination. By rotationally molding polycarbonate, faceted ridges carve the oval shape, giving the appearance of hand-blown glass. The light flares through the shade, resulting in a palpable shadow play around the fixture with a fluid quality. Steel fittings hold a spot light at the base of the fixture, also allowing for more concentrated task light below. A secondary light source emits diffused light from the center (an integrated light source in the case of the LED version).
