Foscarini Table Lamp

With Filo, an eccentric new table lamp by Foscarini, Italian artist-cum-designer Andrea Anastasio wanted form and function on the same footing. To do that, he took elements traditionally associated with lamps, such as blown glass and porcelain (a nod to the brand’s roots in Murano), and dangled them like charms on a bracelet. The textile-covered cable is wrapped around a metal hook and ends with an LED bulb shielded by a porcelain cone. “I wanted to stress the importance of decoration,” he says, “using it as a kind of language.” The Filo comes in eight cord–bauble combinations. $550; foscarini.com. —Amy Serafin
