Foscarini ALICUDI, FILICUDI, PANAREA Glazed lava pendant lamp

ALICUDI, FILICUDI, PANAREA is a set of pendant lamps made from recycled lava.‎ The innovative patented material used is the result of a cutting-edge process.‎ The use of recycled lava allows for thinner layers, up to 8-10 mm, while maintaining the strength and characteristic expressiveness of natural lava.‎ Each lamp is unique, with an irregular, textured surface enriched by porosity and craters, varying depending on the heat and granularity of the recovered material.‎ Although industrially produced, they retain a strong artisanal character: the manufacturing process is done manually, creating unique and unrepeatable variations on each piece.‎ The three pendant lamps are named after the Aeolian Islands, evoking their volcanic charm.‎ The shapes were chosen to highlight both the potential and the limitations of the material used.‎ From a lighting perspective, the lamps emit a focused, functional light, with a beam directed downward.‎ When turned off, however, they appear completely black and sculptural, transforming into shifting presences depending on the ambient light.‎ Alicudi, Filicudi, Panarea is a collection of lamps that expresses the raw beauty of lava, with surfaces rich in porosity and craters, transforming a waste material into a design object that combines aesthetics and sustainability.‎ Innovative and functional, these lamps naturally fit into both public and residential environments, perfect for being repeated in series without losing aesthetic variety.‎ A project in which matter and light merge, giving life to a new interpretation of contemporary lighting.‎ An additional step forward in the experimentation of novel and unexpected materials in the industry, a distinctive feature of Foscarini's research.‎
