Description
The Tonda suspension by Foscarini offers soft, diffused lighting. This sculptural piece is made from mouth-blown opal glass, with a transition from transparent white at the top to transparent at the bottom. The glassmaker’s skill is essential in capturing the exact combination of white and transparency to achieve the desired nuance. The sphere of the Tonda suspension rests loosely on an offset metal structure, composed of a hand-brushed and polished steel rod coated with a glossy powder finish. The steel cable that supports the Tonda suspension is fixed to the end of the frame. The Tonda suspension creates a sophisticated interplay of balance and movement between the hand-blown glass sphere, with its shaded nuances, and its metal support, which surrounds it without enclosing it.
