The new sculptural lamp by Rodolfo Dordoni for Foscarini, an object that blends contrasting elements in a dynamic composition of volumes. |
|
|
Dordoni, Nile is a decorative lamp of remarkable character, with a vivid presence that brings sophisticated elegance to any space. Already beautiful when off, it takes on even more allure when the light filters through the precious blown glass, shining down to the surface below and upward through the two open sides of the diffuser. |

An object that embodies the perfect balance of two opposites. |
|
|
The consistency of marble and the delicacy of glass, the contrast of mineral coolness and handmade warmth. In Nile the arrangement of the two volumes seems to defy the law of gravity. The base and the diffuser, at different angles, remain in place thanks to an invisible game of weights, positions and joints for a unified dynamic effect. |

Two sophisticated versions for the marble base |
|
|
The base in marble polished in a matte finish, crafted by hand, is available in two elegant versions: Carrara marble for the white version and Marquina for the black version. Both are crossed by irregular grain that accentuates the charm of the natural material. |

“I wanted a sculptural presence, a true diffuser of light, with a form that was not necessarily tied to the function. I designed two intersecting volumes: the small marble base, and the large glass diffuser. When I looked at them I was reminded of the famous bust of Queen Nefertiti, which gave me the name: Nile.”
