Foscarini - Twiggy LED Arc lamp

Distinctive arc lamp Twiggy

The elastic and clear graphic of Foscarini Twiggy is an unmistakable characteristic, an exemplary interaction between the creativity of the designer Marc Sadler and the research of Foscarini in the field of materials and technologies.

Floating on a dismountable stand, made of composite material like a fishing rod and adjustable in height by means of weights, the Foscarini Twiggy is a simple and ingenious idea by Sadler, a plastics expert whose aim is to perfect composite materials. In this way, the Twiggy has already become an icon of the corporate philosophy of Foscarini .

The Twiggy shade provides direct illumination of the surface below as well as pleasant ambient lighting thanks to the transparency of the upper protective pane. Even with the LED version of Twiggy, Foscarini wanted to preserve the strong emotional impact of the original model. And so the Twiggy LED after a long process of lighting technology research, offers the same warm effect of the original, with added capabilities in terms of economy, efficiency and light source life. Another advantage of the LED version is its dimmability.

The equipment of the Foscarini Twiggy LED includes 4 counterweights that are inserted into the corresponding pans above the diffuser to adjust its height. The LED chips have been specially designed by Foscarini to maintain a high degree of colour rendering (CRI) and retain the same light nuance of a halogen light source (Kelvin). The two LED chips of the Twiggy are installed on an aluminum plate that acts as a heat sink. Additional shafts are available on request to extend the arc, the transparent cable houses both the on/off switch of the Twiggy LED as well as the dimmer for infinitely variable regulation of the light intensity.

The Twiggy floor lamp is also available in the MyLight version.
