Diffused light pendant lamp. Mouth-blown, jacketed glass diffuser, white on the inside and colored on the outside with a glossy finish. With a “straw” interior, the “warm white” version appears ivory when lit and remains white when off.

During the 1990s, Rodolfo Dordoni designed a collection of table, floor, and pendant lamps for Foscarini, featuring strikingly colored blown-glass diffusers and names that evoked natural elements: Fruits, Blossom, and Buds. Now, Buds is being revamped once again, interpreting contemporary tastes to achieve a refined richness and attention to materials. The star of the project, as always, is the blown glass, crafted with five layers of artisanal technique, immediately apparent thanks to the diffuser’s wider cut. With the new color range—cool brown, cool gray, bamboo green, and white, with a straw-like interior—Buds takes on a dual character: warm when the lamp is on and cool when it is off.
