Gem Semi takes the faceted glass globe that Ludovica and Roberto Palomba designed for Foscarini in 2017 and slices it in half, so it sits against the wall like a softly glowing jewel. The diffuser is mouth-blown into an engraved mould and then acid-etched, which leaves a pattern of overlapping waves across the surface that stays visible even when the lamp is switched off.
Lit, the reliefs break the light into gentle gradations of brightness while the open back washes the wall around it. A slim matte wall plate in white, gold or graphite holds the glass and hides a single E26 socket. It works well along hallways and stairways, beside a bed or as ambient light in a living room.
Foscarini
Founded in 1981 on the Venetian island of Murano, Italy, the Foscarini brand brand began its operations by creating lamps for the contract sector. Over the years, the company has been experimenting with new techniques and materials, resulting in many prestigious awards for its innovation and placing the brand on the map as one of the leading brands in modern lighting. Foscarini’s wide range of products include both home décor lamps and special custom designs that perfectly complement hotels, restaurants, and other residential and commercial interiors.
