The Design
In 2006 Marc Sadler extended the Foscarini range with the graceful Twiggy Terra bow lamp; an iconic lamp whose combination of an ingenious design idea and use innovative materials fits perfectly in the wide portfolio of the Italian lamp manufacturer Foscarini. And further, a lamp which on account of its clear design and monochromatic character brings an agreeable and familiar graphic accent to any room. The expansive, yet extremely slim stand on which the cylindrical shade is attached appears almost to float on the narrow foot and results in an unusual grace for a lamp of its size: despite its generous dimensions of ca. 1.70 x 2 m acts the floor lamp Twiggy Terra is wonderfully filigree. In addition, it is height-adjustable and thus as flexibly as a fishing rod by means of counterweights. The shade provides for direct light which on account of the transparent upper protective plate is realised as pleasant all-round illumination.
Producing a Foscarini lamp
Designer
Marc Sadler graduated in industrial design from the Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Arts Décoratifs in 1968 and was subsequently co-founder of the Design Centre Premier. Initially Marc Sadler cooperated principally with the fashion industry, and, for example, was involved perfume designs for company's such Dior, Pierre Cardin or Yves Saint Laurent. Especially important have been Sadler's cooperation with the sporting goods manufacturers: for Caber he designed the first fully recyclable plastic ski boot, and subsequently a collection of ski boots which were to be the world's best selling boots for years. Marc Sadler has been awarded the coveted Compasso d'Oro design prize on four occasion, his motorcycle back protectors for Daisene are included in the part of the permanent collection of the MoMA New York and the lamp Mite, produced by Foscarini, can be foundin the Centre Pompidou in Paris.

As part of its social and environmental commitment Foscarini is certified according to ISO 9001 and ISO 14001.
