Contemporary Italian lighting company Foscarini produce lighting that enhances every space with their unique design. 

When thinking outside of the norm, Foscarini lights can produce extraordinary effects, like the Tress floor standing lamp that has been hung horizontal in this exceptional exhibition (pictured).

As Pinterest rapidly becomes the latest in social media networking, international brands join the trend to ‘pin’ their own products, projects and inspiration. 

Foscarini is the latest brand stocked by Abitalia in Cheltenham to join Pinterest, regularly updating their account with news, events, designers and much more.

Whilst Abitalia patiently wait for our Pinterest invitation, do you have a Pinterest account? If so why not take a look at Foscarini’s Pinterest this weekend. 

Last month at the Salone del Mobile, contemporary lighting company Foscarini launched their floor standing Birdie light in three new versions; ceiling, wall mounted and table lamp. 

The Birdie design represents that of a young tree with the thin rod resembling a branch. It’s contemporary in design yet it’s lamp shade resonates that of traditional lighting.

The small table lamp version of the Birdie is currently available in four colours white, grey, orange and amaranth. If you are interested in the Birdie light or any other contemporary lighting from Foscarini please contact Abitalia on 01242 262155 or email design@abitalia.co.uk 

The Behive table lamp by contemporary lighting company Foscarini is now available in a suspension version. Launched this month at the Milan fair, the Behive was designed by Werner Aisslinger, involving a highly complex engineering process.

With it’s downward directional light, the suspended Behive retains all of its original character. 

You may have seen Abitalia blog about the Behive light and it’s manufacture before. The table lamp version is on display in the Abitalia studio at 237 Gloucester Road, Cheltenham, GL51 8NJ. 

The Aplomb suspension light by Foscarini is proving to be one of Abitalia’s most popular pieces of contemporary lighting. 

Suspended directly above one of the desks in the Abitalia studio it’s beauty is quite a distraction. Formed in concrete, Abitalia showcases the striking piece of art in grey, however it is also available in white and brown. 

If you’d like to see the Aplomb in person please stop by the Abitalia studio at 237, Gloucester Road, Cheltenham, Gl51 8NJ
