Foscarini Lamps

The Italian brand Foscarini imagines, develops and produces decorative lamps: night and day, whether they’re on or off, they seduce, surprise and inspire. Foscarini lights are conceived as design objects that transform spaces: we bring beauty, we stir emotions.

Foscarini designs with an independence from any production constraints, which translates into freedom of ideas.
The company’s 35 years of collaborations with international designers and mastery of lighting resulted in a long list of design icons integrated into domestic or collective environments globally. One constant through their history has been their rigor and passion for each project.

Wherever they are in the world, Foscarini brings a unique perspective engrained in Italy's culture: they prioritize mastery, craftsmanship and most mportantly, their design vision.

History

Foscarini is founded on the island of Murano (Venice) in 1981, creating lighting systems for the contract sector. In the 80's, Foscarini opened to new markets and distribution channels by launching its first catalogue collection of design lamps. Later on, they start working with external designers.

Throughout the following decades, Foscarini continued to search for different and better materials to improve the quality and design of its lamps. This is how they started using industrial glass, polyethylene, and their very own Kevlar® fibre blend.

Quality & Environment

Foscarini was one of the first Italian companies in the lighting sector to obtain the UNI EN ISO 9001 certification, which guarantees the quality of the entire production process. In 2012, in order to reduce the environmental impact of the activities, the UNI EN ISO 14001: 2004 certification was added.
