Foscarini - Tonda

Tonda - design: Ferruccio Laviani, 2022

Tonda is fascinating for its apparently illogical balance. For the sophisticated game of balancing between the glowing sphere and the metal support that embraces without closing the lamp, on which it rests but is not attached.

To design Tonda, Ferruccio Laviani has drawn on memory, updating it for the present. Tonda is in fact a mixture of stimuli derived from the Radical Design of the 1960s and 1970s – with its extraordinary thought-provoking impact – and the tenets of Good Design – striving to achieve a perfect balance between form and function. The result is an erudite creation but with universal appeal, simultaneously sophisticated and pop.

Tonda is a luminous sculpture that is never precisely equal, not even the quality of the light emitted by the handmade blown and shaded glass diffuser (shifting from white towards the top to transparent below). The luminous effect is guided by the tangible skill of a human being, not the cold precision of a machine.
