Nile table lamp, made with mouth-blown white layered glass diffuser. Base in polished marble with matt finish, hand-worked, of Carrara in the white version and Marquina in the black version. The lower surface of the base is protected by a scratch-saving rubber disc. Transparent fabric cable with dimmer switch included. Equipped with great character, Nile is an important stage presence wherever it is placed, and is able to transfer its elegance to any furniture. Designed by Rodolfo Dordoni for Foscarini.
“I wanted a sculptural presence, a real diffuser of light, with a shape that does not necessarily adhere to the function. I designed two intersecting volumes: the small marble base and the large glass diffuser. When I looked at them they reminded me of the famous bust of the Egyptian queen Nefertiti and hence the name: Nile. "
Thus the master designer Rodolfo Dordoni presents his new creation, Nile, a table lamp that acts as a sculpture. Fascinating from the off, Nile lights up in wonder when light filters through its massive mouth-blown glass diffuser, moving both up and down. Nile is an object that represents the perfect balance between two opposing materials, the texture and strength of marble and the delicacy of glass, positioned in a composition that seems to defy the law of gravity. Base and diffuser, with their different inclinations, manage to remain united thanks to an invisible game of weights, positions and conjunctions, for a dynamic overall effect.
