Foscarini NILE – black marble Marquina

The Nile table lamp by Foscarini is a fascinating combination of opposites: glass, warm and delicate, is in fact combined with marble, a strong and cold material. The table lamp consists of a conical figure in blown glass balanced on an inclined cylindrical marble base, as if to defy gravity. The light is elegantly projected upwards and downwards at the same time, thus creating a welcoming atmosphere in the various rooms of the house, but also in public spaces.

The beautiful lamp is named after the Nile River in Egypt. The designer, Rodolfo Dordoni, says the lamp reminded him of the famous bust of Queen Nefertiti. And let’s face it: this sculptural lamp emits an aura of regal dignity.
