dolmen suspension lamp

Design Ferruccio Laviani, 1996/2017
Varnished or anodized aluminum, polycarbonate
Made in Italy by Foscarini

One of the most iconic designs in Foscarini's history, reworked to adapt to the new opportunities offered by LED technology: Dolmen, designed by Ferruccio Laviani in the mid-Nineties. A piece with a forceful symbolic value, expression of a lamp-sculpture concept that never escapes notice, thanks to the exceptional character of the monolithic form, with four large openings similar to the portholes of a ship, and the unusual positioning against the wall. The use of a dimmable LED source that provides warm, uniform light, has made it possible to re-proportion the lamp's design, making it slimmer in a lucid aesthetic adjustment. The finishes transform its personality, suggesting different feelings and settings: matte brushed aluminum for hightech inspiration. In all versions, Dolmen brings its forceful character and immediately recognizable personality to any space.

Suspension lamp with direct and indirect light. The lamp consists of a laser-cut sheet of aluminum bent using a pressure bending machine and hand-finished. The aluminum is anodized and subsequently liquid coated with transparent varnish or colored paint. There are two opaline PMMA diffusers, the front one is slightly embossed. There is a plate - also in transparent PMMA - between the two diffusers, which diffuses light from the multichip LEDs installed on the long sides of the aluminum frame. The plate is laser-engraved in the areas aligned with the portholes to concentrate the light reflection. Stainless steel suspension cable and a transparent electrical cable. Ceiling canopy with galvanized metal bracket and white batch-dyed ABS cover. 400" cord length is available on request (please call the hive showroom to specify).
