Foscarini Spokes Pendant

The Foscarini Spokes Pendant by Garcia Cumini is a decorative ceiling pendant that reads as a rounded lantern. The design references a voluminous, oblate spheroid form assembled from a rhythmic lattice of thin metal rods, giving the piece a lightweight, sculptural presence suitable as an interior centrepiece.

Spokes is built around a curved cage of fine vertical rods gathered at top and bottom plates to create a consistent geometric lattice. The pictured finish is matte black, which reinforces the lantern-like silhouette while emphasising the pattern of light and shadow produced when lit.

Construction uses numerous thin metal rods arranged to preserve visual transparency and negative space; this creates an airy volume despite the pendant's scale. The repetitive stepped rhythm of the rods suggests movement and draws on industrial references, such as bicycle-wheel geometry, translated into a refined decorative form.

A central light source is located within the cage at the base of the support structure and projects light outward through the lattice, producing a kaleidoscope of blocks and voids on surrounding surfaces. The result is ambient illumination with decorative shadow play, ideal for living rooms, dining areas or circulation spaces where a sculptural focal point is required.

The pendant is suspended from the ceiling by two cables — a straight structural support wire and a flexible electrical cord — which keep the visual lines clean while providing secure support. The fitting is rated IP20 and intended for indoor use only. A one-year manufacturer warranty applies.

At Lighting Design Online we treat Spokes as a considered design choice: it provides both ambient illumination and a strong sculptural statement. We offer practical advice on scale, ceiling height and lamp specification to ensure the finished result is visually balanced and technically appropriate, giving you clarity and professional assurance for your project.
