Foscarini Twiggy Suspension Lamp

Ample, linear, essential design combined with strong flexibility characterize the formal elegance and light sophistication of Twiggy. Foscarini reinterprets these details, offering an effective concept for new uses, which preserves all the decorative expressiveness of the original floor version. The table lamp offers in scale the typical flexible refinement of the original creation, while the ceiling model is the maximum expression of flexibility: by rotating 330° it is an optimal solution for decentralizing a light source. The hanging version, which comes in two sizes, has a wide range of possible uses. All the lamps are made in composite lacquered material on a fibreglass base and are available in four different colours. The diffuser uses the light source to the full and offers direct lighting on the surface below. In the large hanging and ceiling versions it also provides effective upward reflection, thanks to the transparent protective upper disk.

Marc Sadler

Austria, 1946

A French citizen, born in Austria, Marc Sadler currently lives in Milan. Experimentation with plastics has often formed a key part of his design activity.

In the early 1970s, he perfected the first ski boot in a thermo plastic material that was completely recyclable. Sadler then began a long and fruitful collaboration that led to the patenting of the ski boot with a symmetric shell, which was for many years the most widely sold ski boot in the world. This is start of his career as a sports designer, which led to a close collaboration with the most important multinational sport companies in the United States, Asia, and Europe. Working in this sector, which has often pioneered research into new materials and techniques, provided the experience to enable him to bring innovation to more traditional areas where is set a concept of design as pure aesthetic shape.

A true citizen of the world (he has lived and worked for many years in Europe, North America and Asia), he is a consultant for companies in the fields of home furnishings, large and small household appliances, lighting, technically advanced products, and sports.

Awarded four times with the Compasso d’Oro, his work has won many international design awards over the years. Despite his reputation as a technical designer, Marc Sadler has a strong passion for painting and drawing, finding it so emotionally absorbing as to consider it his real passion.
