Foscarini
Aplomb Collection


Design by Lucidi & Pevere

The Aplomb suspensions by Foscarini count among the designer classics by the Italian light fixtures label. Designed by Lucidi & Pevere, Aplomb emerged from a desire to work with concrete as a material. Natural concrete has become a popular architectural theme, however the use of this sober, functional material for a light fixture was a novelty in 2010 and made reality with the release of Aplomb. From the beginning, the Foscarini light has been a success, and over the years further models were added to the collection. The concrete's special composition and the formal simplicity due to the shades' archetypical shapes lend Aplomb a unique elegance. Aplomb's surface appears rough, yet is unexpectedly soft at the same time, which reinforces the fascination for this design piece.

The concrete is composed of a special, optionally coloured mixture with colour pigments that is filled in a liquid state in a mould. Aplomb's light body is available in its natural grey colour and in other colours as well. The colour choice gives Aplomb an individual personality. In natural grey, its materiality is emphasized, a warm, intensive note is achieved in brown and in white its elegance is especially enhanced. Besides, the Aplomb GU10 is available as versions in vivid colours.

Because of Aplomb's great success, the collection was continuously expanded. Aplomb wall lamp was first created in 2014, Aplomb Mini was added to it in 2015 and then Aplomb Large suspension in 2016. The latter appeals with the concrete's rough appearance with a particular contrast. It has the appearance of a broad, thin-walled, nearly filigreed shade with an optical lightness that is not at first associated with concrete. The typical porous structure testifies of the material used and lends Aplomb an attractive industrial charm.

The light fixtures are ideally suited for a direct and precise illumination of tables, seats and counters and set above all attractive accents in modern and minimalistic surroundings. On request, Aplomb can be delivered with a ceiling rose and a kit of decentralisation or with a multiple ceiling rose, on which up to 9 lights can be mounted.
