Filo lamp: I want it! What is it?

At first, I had this crazy WTF moment, thinking, what in the world is that? Filo lamps can test your taste preferences, no doubt about that. They are unique. They are whimsical. They are playful. They are not boring. They are… Well, they are Filo lamps.

Filo lamps

Filo lamps are a production of an Italian brand Foscarini Lighting. The company’s 30+ years of collaborations with international designers and mastery of lighting resulted in an extensive list of design icons. It is worth mentioning the contribution to the environment the company makes. Foscarini was one of the first Italian companies in the lighting sector to obtain the UNI EN ISO 9001 certification, which guarantees the quality of the entire production process. In 2012, to reduce the environmental impact of the activities, the UNI EN ISO 14001: 2004 certification was added.

The Filo series consists of three types of lamps: table lamp, wall lamp and floor lamp. Let’s have a closer look at them and see the unique details and characteristics.
