Foscarini Twiggy Floor Lamp

The Foscarini Twiggy Floor Lamp is a Marc Newson design in the Twiggy range, a refined floor arc lamp that balances a high, sweeping rod with a large cylindrical diffuser. Its silhouette combines technical restraint with an organic diffuser texture to deliver both direct downward light and a cosy ambient wash.

Twiggy’s form is defined by an exceptionally slender, flexible rod that arcs from a flat circular base to suspend the drum-shaped shade. The lamp reads as a single, tensioned line and is supplied with a matte black base and rod paired with a light-toned wood-grain diffuser as shown.

Construction uses a fibreglass-based composite rod and a metal base finished with an epoxy powder coat, while the diffuser incorporates a translucent polycarbonate upper disc and a PMMA lower disc with a polyprismatic internal surface. The LED board is mounted on an aluminium disc protected by a small PMMA cover.

Light is delivered as a focused downward illumination directly beneath the shade with additional diffusion for ambient ambience. The integrated double-sided LED board provides stable, even output and the transparent cable includes an inline dimmer that functions as both ON/OFF and continuous intensity control.

Installation is straightforward: the weighted, flat base sits low and can be positioned under low-clearance furniture. Twiggy is supplied with four counter-weights to fine-tune diffuser height and additional arc-extending rods are available on request. The lamp is rated IP20 and comes with a 1 year manufacturer warranty.
