Foscarini Big Bang Pendant

The Foscarini Big Bang Pendant, designed by Enrico Franzolini and Vicente Garcia Jimenez, is a ceiling-suspended pendant from Foscarini's Big Bang range. The fitting takes a deconstructivist approach to form, producing a bold architectural statement that works as ambient, decorative illumination in larger interior settings.

The shade is formed from an asymmetrical assembly of overlapping rectangular and trapezoidal plates that create a fragmented, multi-dimensional volume. The range is offered in White appearance; the pictured variant combines high-contrast red and white panels to emphasise its graphic, contemporary character.

Plates are executed as rigid panels with a smooth, uniform surface, producing a crisp sculptural silhouette. The fixture is suspended from the ceiling by a thin vertical support wire alongside its electrical cable, reinforcing the impression of a floating, exploded form.

The overlapping arrangement is designed to obscure the central light source and to diffuse light through the gaps, while internal reflections across the planes highlight the sculpture when illuminated. The Big Bang performs as ambient, decorative lighting, creating atmosphere and controlled shadow rather than focused task illumination. It is rated IP20 and intended for dry indoor zones.

Technical specifics such as included lamps, driver or dimming compatibility are listed on the product's technical specification; consult these details to confirm suitability for your project. The fitting is available in two size variants (L and XL), making it appropriate where scale and presence are required.

At Lighting Design Online we present the Big Bang as a considered choice for interiors that call for a sculptural centrepiece. Our guidance focuses on achieving the right visual balance and reliable specification details so the result feels intentional and technically sound, with the benefit of Italian design assurance and practical, project-friendly information.
