Visible concrete is part of the expressive language of modern architecture. With Aplomb, Foscarini has introduced a product that uses this material with a spirit and technology that is entirely original. The challenge was to create an incredible leap of scale: from large architectural constructions to a little suspension lamp with a thickness of just a few millimeters at its finest point on top, using a material that is entirely inflexible. The challenge has been met with impeccable 'Aplomb,' thanks to the use of special concrete that is particularly fluid in moulding.
This small lamp is suspended in air like a plumb line, hence the name. Its small scale allows Aplomb to be used solo or in a line of multiples at the same or differing heights. The color choices have pigments added directly to the concrete mixture for continuity in hue.
