Foscarini Sun - Light of Love Pendant

The Foscarini Sun - Light of Love Pendant, designed by Tord Boontje, is a sculptural suspension light that reads as both geometric and organic. The lamp’s sunburst silhouette and dense three‑dimensional form make it suitable for interior ceiling mounting where a strong, considered focal light is required.

The pendant is formed from approximately 390 cold‑pressed steel rays arranged in overlapping layers to create a fluid, dandelion‑like outline. The series is offered in matt white or matt gold finishes, emphasising either a subtle or warmer sculptural presence in a scheme.

All metal elements are powder coated for a uniform, non‑reflective surface. The body is suspended on a three‑point system of thin steel cables; a transparent power cord is integrated into the suspension and spirals towards the ceiling canopy, keeping the silhouette clean.

The design houses a double light source that directs light downward while diffusing upward through the gaps in the rays. The dense arrangement of metal strips masks internal lamps and scatters light to create warm, ambient illumination and a soft presence over a table or in a living space.

Technical details provided: IP20 rating and a 1 year manufacturer’s warranty. Bulb supply, lamp types and dimming compatibility are not specified in the supplied data — refer to the technical sheet for exact lamp and control requirements.

At Lighting Design Online we view the Sun pendant as a design‑led statement that also solves practical needs. Its sculptural form, clear suspension details and specified protection class make it straightforward to place in a scheme; our guidance focuses on the right outcome, with professional assurance and project‑friendly clarity to integrate the piece with confidence.
