Allegretto Assai Suspension design by Atelier OÏ for Foscarini

April 24, 2015 - PRLog -- Allegretto brings all the wonderful theatricality and magical harmony of the Allegro project to the home and to contract spaces, with proportions and volumes designed on a smaller space. An entire family of hanging lamps that take on their shape thanks to the force of gravity, created with metal lines that design the light and emit sounds when they touch. The collection name is inspired exactly to this “musicality”. There are three versions, according to the finish of the metal elements, to express three different styles:

Allegretto Ritmico in black, Allegretto Vivace in brown and Allegretto Assai in gold. Allegretto lamps can be used as the visual center of an environment, instead of a traditional ceiling lamp, or to complement the larger Allegro models in a project that is coherent in its concept and realization and free to be customized.

Allegretto Assai Suspension Features

The rods are anchored to the mount using small metal rings. Fitted with three stainless steel suspension cables and a transparent electrical cable. Ceiling rose with galvanized metal bracket and glossy chromed batch-dyed ABS cover. Canopy decentralization kit available.

About the Designer

Atelier OÏ - The tr(oi)ka was founded by Aurel Aebi, Armand Louis and Patrick Reymond in La Neuveville, Switzerland, in 1991 under the label Atelier Oï. The main elements that characterise the atelier’s philosophy and work consist of its multidisciplinary nature. Orders come from the fields of architecture, design and scenography, and, most frequently, from between these different disciplines. Invited to various design schools in Switzerland and abroad, they hold a teaching position in the design department of Ecal (University of Art and Design Lausanne, Switzerland).

About Foscarini

A technological and creative workshop that conceives, develops and produces not just lamps but pure emotions, in collaboration with many other designers from around the world.  A company that is free, passionate, unconventional and right at the heart of the industry in which it thrives.  This is Foscarini.

A designing and technological tour de force, Foscarini explores an entire world of materials and solutions. Their research atelier experiments, free of any mental barriers or technical restraints through flexible, efficient and high quality production, while the sales and logistics organization distributes with equal care all over the world the smallest table lamp to the largest lighting set. Foscarini: a special personality in the world of lighting.

Foscarini focuses on developing new products but chooses only to put into production those that express new ideas.  While inspiration is always valued, Foscarini’s development phase sometimes takes years of progressive research to analyze materials, shapes, processes and operating modes that sometimes lead to results drastically different from the initial concept.  This is why Foscarini lamps are so innovative yet built to weather the whim of trends and become true classics.
